OH! Oh, my goodness, how fascinating! Oh, go and look at this site, where among other things can be found: The other part of the side name refers to a printer’s festival, a “Wayzgoose”, a celebration which has been traced back to the seventeenth century. The annual festival was celebrated on St. Bartholomew’s eve, 24th August when the master printer would supply a feast for his printers. In later years the feast was replaced by an outing, either to the coast or a large picnic in the countryside where good food and good ale were enjoyed in great quantity.
Ooh, ooh, my friend lives in West Yo'ksh'r! Oh, I'm so excited, I can't even post that I made that post with the expectation of getting rebutted!
