The other day I was driving to Solihull and noticed that it was twinned with Cholet. Hmm I thought, like the womble....
Bit later in the day I had this huge lightbulb moment OMG all the wombles have names of places, how did I not know this before??
Then it got more weird, I was in the shower this morning and remembered that Great Uncle Bulgaria names the wombles from an atlas, I clearly recall reading this aged about 6 or 7.
The only explanation I can come up with is that 6/7 year old me had never heard of these places so thought that GU Bulgaria used a special womble atlas with made up place names in
I may be overthinking this....
