Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,283 Posted February 5, 2021 22 minutes ago, time said: Happy birthday to @Great Uncle Bulgaria and the rest of The Wombles, who debuted on TV 48 years ago today. I can't say I remember the exact debut, but I do remember it from first time around (I even have a Wombles badge). God I'm old. Thanks. Very timely - as I was intending to post tomorrow, 6/2 is Mike Batt's birthday. I too have a Wombles badge (a green 'Keep on Wombling' one, as you ask). Until recently I also had a Tobermory one from the 70s (not sure why, he was never my favourite and I'm not remotely practical/good at repairing stuff), but don't recall seeing it in the drawer for a couple of years.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, now you mention it, I'm not sure if I do have a Wombles badge, maybe I should have said 'had'. It was Orinoco, I do remember that. Its more than possible I traded it in for an anti-cruise badge during my student protester days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had one of those too once. My affinity for the Wombles long outlasted my desire to go on political demonstrations though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
