Pavement Womble. Although a rare breed of people, they are extremely common on pavements. Even
outside of peak times these people stride the pavements relentlessly, picking times to head out when they see passers by approaching. The main thing about the breed of human called the pavement womble is they not only have a forward motion, the also womble from side to side. This slows them down but also blocks none wombes from passing by, in effect they take up twice the space of
normal humans. They are a danger, especially to
children, a womble in can easily squash a small
child without even realizing. Trying to pass them isnt
easy, sometimes people are forced to step around them but they are
run over by passing cars, as they do not anticipate the side wards movement. Pavements that are regularly used by wombles can subside, so there are calls for womble lanes with reinforced concrete to be created. At the moment mps defending wombles rights are asking for bus lanes to be converted to womble lanes. Pavement wombles should be given at least a 2 meter circle of avoidance as you never know the direction they may womble. Often wombles are overweight, this is considered a contributing factor to the amount they may
sway. Its especially dangerous to consider passing a pavement womble in the wind,
children and elderly should avoid them at all costs. The anti womble society advise crossing the road to avoid them. They are calling for a
ban on pavement wombles during the
school runs.
