Hey Comfort and Joy was a nice wee picture with a happy ending,but I remember the real Turf Wars in Glasgow where people died.
The war was actually about trading drugs rather than Ice cream,the vans were selling dope as well as ice cream.
Anyway one family wouldn't give up their patch and someone poured petrol through their door and torched the house.
Can't remember how many died but two guys spent nearly twenty years in jail and were framed for the crime.
Now Ice Cream routes are licenced by the local authorities.
