Tobermory is very good friends with Great Uncle Bulgaria. While he has fully embraced the 21st century, he fully respects Great Uncle Bulgaria’s views on the origin of things and has great respect for the old Womble’s position. While Tobermory is very comfortable motoring around in a turbo wom-hummer, he can also be seen strolling by alongside Uncle Bulgaria on their morning walks.

As Orinoco sees it, you may as well do what you’re good at, and he knows he’s good at eating and sleeping - both pastimes get a lot of practice. Weight: The simulator is heavy enough to feel extremely realistic, but light enough to be mounted in a normal domestic roof space. Bungo can be quite competitive and is never too shy to proclaim any victory, even in the smallest of competitions or games. He also always tries to be first to find a copy of The Times for Great Uncle Bulgaria.

Other Wombles sometimes join the band for live appearances, including Tomsk and Alderney. Who are Wandle and Haydon? He believes his mother would be thrilled to see her creation still going strong. “Mum would be very happy they still appeal to many people of different generations around the world,” Marcus says.

Though it is stated that Wombles live all around the world, Beresford's collection of stories, as well as the television series and the music, focus on a group living in Wimbledon Common in London, England, with the sole exception of The Wombles Go Round The World.

Madame Cholet – a very kind-hearted but short-tempered female Womble, and the cook of the Wimbledon burrow, styled on Beresford's mother and named after the town of Cholet in France. She affects a French accent, though she is actually no more French than any other Wimbledon Womble and simply likes to think of herself as French. Tobermory is middle-aged (about halfway between Uncle Bulgaria and the younger Wombles), phlegmatic and practical. While he stands no nonsense from the young Wombles as he supervises their daily clearing-up duties, Tobermory is patient and steadfastly positive. He is also confidant to the young Wombles and a strong supporter of most any endeavour the young Wombles embark upon. The comedy film The Rutles featured a Ringo Starr-inspired character named Barrington Womble who "shortened his name to save time...he simply became Barry Wom."By car: Newcastle is easily accessible by road via the A1 from the north and south and the A69 from the west. There is limited visitor car parking in The Garage, the multi-storey car park serving Newcastle Helix, which is adjacent to The Spark, and should be accessed via Corporation Street only. If you are travelling using a route planner or sat-nav, the postcode for The Garage is NE4 5QB. There are also various other public car parks close to The Spark.

So who would write the stories? “I think we’d have some input,” says Marcus, now 67. “But we’re not young people and we have to understand some things will be different. I’m very impressed with the people they’ve got on the team now.” In all seriousness though, whether you're interested in buying a Womble (can I borrow some money from you?) or not, it’s a hell of a bike, and the right rider won’t be disappointed. Even if that rider isn't the aforementioned rad dad boomer. This is an appropriate point to describe what’s involved in erecting the Wombel. The supporting framework is reminiscent of a Meccano kit. Everything required is supplied with it, including tools and a little pot of nuts and bolts. Two people can bolt it together easily in forty minutes, or less if one of them is familiar with it. Four long bolts then secure the Saxilby Simulator unit to the top of the framework, and the bell weights are bolted on to the wheel, one on each side.

A stop-motion animated series of five-minute episodes was made between 1973 and 1975, [9] along with two half-hour specials. Narration and all Womble voices for these were provided by Bernard Cribbins. Plummer, David (13 May 2003). "Even the Wombles refuse to follow Wimbledon to Milton Keynes". The Guardian. London . Retrieved 14 August 2011. Tante Lille – the leader of "Les Wombleaux of Boulogne", named after the northern French town of Lille. Bungo and Tomsk go for a flight in a spaceship invented by Wellington and become convinced they've landed on the Moon. When he does come to visit he complains constantly as it seems he is at his happiest when most miserable. He misses decent clover tea and always has something to complain to Madame Cholet about (even though he secretly loves her cooking and wouldn’t mind her living with him in Scotland). Little do the Wimbledon Wombles know how much MacWomble really envies them.
