Are Wombles real??

[fucketynamechanged]

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

Thank you

Aha PanPan I wondered what it was, that poor rider must have been exhausted he had to fight the frisky bugger all the way round!

Wombles are of course real.

They like making plastic boats out of milk cartons and going on a boat ride with Iggle Piggle.

I had to pretend I knew but only just discovered Wolverines are real. Granted, they don't have as many powers as I thought they did.

Just remember you're a womble! Just have to admit it now

He's excited because he's spotted a Womble in the congregation

They were real. Sadly Great Uncle Bulgaria is doing a 12 stretch at Belmarsh for his links to the Russian mafia. Wellington and Orinoco now live in Brighton where they run a club called Hunk Heaven. Following her acrimonious divorce from Monsieur Cholet, Madame Cholet wed Tomsk and they are now active on the swinging scene in Filey

The Wombles now have their own railway- London Overground, where they go wombling free thanks to their Freedom Passes.
