Yep, Highways Agency bods - and known as 'Traffic Officers', Murph didn't say that they were old bill !

Murph - I'm guessing that you are an Essex F&R man ?

And........why 'Wombles' ???? - a good name, but I don't understand  :?

Yep,, Essex F&R

Allegedly Jeremy Clarkson named them the wombles as all they do is pick up litter from the roads  :lol:  just like the wombles of wimbledon common  :wink:

A bit of a dig at the governments new highways plans...

Not quite true,, they do a little more than that.
