The notices around Radley Lakes about the Hesher’s Geffings have been removed by the Earth Trust (formerly Northmoor Trust). The notices first appeared around April 1st. Does anybody know any more about the Hesher’s Geffings and their origins?

Surely anyone realises this was an April Fool’s prank!
The name comes from two sources. There is a 2010 film about a loner who hates the world by the name of Hesher. He has long greasy hair and homemade tattoos. A Geffing is a guy who has a gay fling with a mate and then pretends it did not happen. So Heshers Geffings are hairy greasy mixed up individuals.
Hesher was a manufacturer of sweets in the 50s and 60s. They had a sweet on a stick that could whistle. It had a cartoon bird on the wrapper signed Ralph Geffing. People used to call them Hesher’s Geffings rather than their real name which I have forget.
I thought it was a rare type of Pork Scratching
