Mushy Peas & Ice Cream

We met Chris for a world-famous ice cream (but I'm not saying where it was).
We went with him to a near-by spa town (but I'm not saying which town it was).
He invited us to watch him work (but I'm not saying what he does for a living).
My daughter met him at University (but I'm not saying at which University).
We had a meal (but I'm not saying what type of meal it was).
We had to say goodbye and let him go back to work (but I'm not saying what work he does).

With thanks to Billy Bragg for the idea for this description (but I've forgotten what his song is called!).
