Just had an argument with a friend... is there an actual species called Wombles or were they made up creatures?

Thank you

You're thinking of earls court.

Candyflip · 13/05/2018 09:33

Hettie, wombles are actual cunts. You really don’t want one. And fekko, sorry, but you know it’s true.

Thishatisnotmine · 13/05/2018 09:32

Are you thinking of wombats? Although they don't live in Wimbledon

hettie · 13/05/2018 09:31

But I want a womble stamps foot

Andrewofgg · 13/05/2018 09:31

Wombles are real and have made up stories about weird creatures called People.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 13/05/2018 09:29

Look, unless you want me never to be able to sleep again - admit that the flumps are Not Real. Creepy little fekkers.

Anasnake · 13/05/2018 09:28

Of course they're real, as are the Flumps and Chorlton and the wheelies.

fenella

I was just going to post similar about the very real cockwomble Grin

QOD · 13/05/2018 09:25

@infertilitybitch maybe! 😂

PanPanPanPing · 13/05/2018 09:23

I don't think they're allowed to.

ScreamingValenta · 13/05/2018 09:20

@PanPanPanPing They need to try spraying some Womble Repellent on the grass.

PanPanPanPing · 13/05/2018 09:18

It's not just the tennis folk who have problems with them, the golfers also have problems with them. In fact each of the golf clubs there have to employ a designated Womble Warden - at great expense, I might add.

Yes they are real - i think I have a few living in the back of my wardrobe. I havent seen much of them since the late 1970Å¡ - i think they are hiding.
On a more serious note I think there was a radical eco group who called themselves wombles (they are not at the back of my wardrobe)

JillJ72 · 13/05/2018 08:48

They are real. They tidied up at our school when I was little.

Candyflip · 13/05/2018 08:44

Fekko are you insane? I have a family of flumps at the bottom of my garden. Annoying little feckers, yes, but definitely real.

Neolara · 13/05/2018 08:44

Yes, definitely real. One ran past me in the London marathon. Bloody fast actually.

ScreamingValenta · 13/05/2018 08:43

Yes, they're absolutely real. There are womble colonies all over the world, including giant wombles in the Himalayas.

Despite a similarity of name, they're not related to the cock wombles referenced by Fenella. Though Bungo could be a bit of a dick at times.

infertilitybitch · 13/05/2018 08:41

@QOD going for a record? Grin

GinIsIn · 13/05/2018 08:33

There’s also the cock womble. Those are definitely real.....

QOD · 13/05/2018 08:28

Hahahahahhahahahaahhahaahhahahahaaaa

Are Wombles real??
EastMidsGPs · 13/05/2018 08:26

Hettie

I don't think you can adopt only one - they are sociable creatures and need to live in groups

AsAProfessionalFekko · 13/05/2018 08:25

The flumps aren't really (thank God) but the pogles and the clangers definitely are.

ThreeLeggedCat · 13/05/2018 08:22

Clearly they are real. Otherwise my Mum wouldn’t have taken us hunting for them on Wimbledon Common so many times would she???

hettie · 13/05/2018 08:22

I'd love a womble...can I adopt one?

SilentBob · 13/05/2018 08:20

Yep, very real. Common, in fact.
