Wimbledon Wombles



With Wimbledon starting again I'm reminded of my childhood where the word Wimbledon and Wombles went hand in hand.

And this reminds me of the theme song & the part where I always thought they sang
"The Wombles of Wimbledon, common are we". I thought was a bit harsh.
But actually, you see, they sing "The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we."

Clearly a lesson on the importance of the comma and the capital letter is to be learned from all this. But nothing about tennis.

i always thought the same thing!
and i remember when we went to london for a couple of days (on the way to ireland) when i was 6 and seeing wimbledon on the tube map and being very excited about being that close to the wombles.

I believe they are still there. Making good use of the things that they find.
The original recyclers.
