Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

MARCUS FOX, MP, who enlivens the Department of the Environment by waging war on chiming ice-cream vans, was born about 1900 years too late. If he had bent his unmelodic ear to Nero's fiddling he could have saved the Romans much aural suffering. He could also have prevented inoffensive lions from being fed with indigestible Christians and could have gone down in history as the founder of Greenpeace.

A correspondent in The Daily Telegraph says that in London's N13 postal area — Palmers Green and Southgate — the icecream vans play Greensleeves, The Skaters Waltz and the slow movement of Haydn's string quartet No 17 Op 3 No 5. That's posh, isn't it? Ice cream doesn't come any softer.
