The
flavour of the day, according to the announcer is strawberry, why strawberry,
surely it’s not strawberry every single day of the week! Mind you this is the
village, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if strawberry is the flavour of the
day every single day of the year! And yet does anyone actually buy ice cream wafers
or cornets? And if they do, where is the ice cream on sale? I’ve never seen an ice
cream parlour or kiosk selling ice cream in the village, ah perhaps it’s sold
at the café. And yet I have not seen
anyone in the village actually eating ice cream. In fact the only person seen
eating an ice cream cone in ‘the Prisoner’ is our friend No.6 as he’s wheeled
into No.2’s office in ‘Once Upon A Time,’ and the flavour then was vanilla! Perhaps
citizens do not like ice cream, or perhaps they simply became sick and tired of
eating strawberry flavoured ice cream! Perhaps strawberry ice cream being the
flavour of the day might have been a form of aversion therapy. Give them too
much of a good thing and they go off it, if that was the case, it certainly
works!
Be seeing you
