Ice cream seller Gus Bodur said the current heatwave in London has made it difficult for vendors to keep cool and serve frozen treats.
- Gus Bodur told BBC London that ice cream sellers are struggling as machines battle to keep slushies frozen and vans turn into "glasshouses."
- Gus stated he has been in the ice cream trade for about 50 years, having started working with his father at age 14 on a stall in Piccadilly Circus.
- Gus said the family enterprise now spans three generations, with his daughter Chloe owning her own van and son Oliver working in the business.
- Chloe said the family is working to create a legacy for her father and grandfather.
