Parents were shocked and outraged last week to discover that popular children's TV programme 'The Wombles' contains many hidden references to homosexuality. It was reported that Wimbledon Common (home of the wombles) is a popular location for 'cruising'. It was also revealed that 'wombling' is a term used to describe a particular type of sexual act between two men, that 'Great Uncle Bulgaria' is a common nickname for an elderly gay man, and that 'Madame Cholet' is another often heard term referring to transvestites.
