I am concerned for the Wombles, no, really, I am

Wombles, the beloved species that tidy Wimbledon Common are now officially on the Endangered Species list.

The animals were added when Wimbledon Common was seen to be in a state of untidiness, and that the Wombles had not been seen for a while.

'The industrious nocturnal species often keeps Wimbledon Common clean, but they have not been doing their job properly lately' said Terry Nutkins, renowned Wildlife expert and television presenter. 'We only ever saw five of them, and only one female, so we do worry that the species has died out completely. It could be like the Loch Ness Monster though. We only see a small number, but there could be hundreds of them all underneath London as we speak'.

David Cameron, leader of the Conservatives said: 'I would be very saddened to hear of the demise of the Womble, a great species that made London famous for children in the 1970's and 1980's. It is a sad day when a Species dies, but at least we have something to remember them by. They always were a great example to our present Major, Boris Johnson, so their example lives on. Personally, I always thought they were vermin'

The views of many other people were not sort, as they may well have been busy.
