For the non-Sheffielders out there Snig Hill is a street in the City Centre which got its name from the fact that a long time ago it was a lot steeper than it is today and the City used to employ a bloke to walk behind the horses and carts with a "snig" on the end of a pole - it was a kind of wedge to stop the cart running backwards.
I don't remember the "Is it a Vauxhall?" guy but I've lost count of the number of nutters I came across in that former life of mine.
Oh by the way, I'm not a rivet counter or a mad polisher. I do like to get the car out and give it a good spanking, which it got yesterday. I did a run round the area of about 25-30 miles, just to lubricate a bit more French tarmac.
