You have every right to be annoyed but don't take the word of one person ... she sounds like the bird who works on the desk of our local council. Miss Fuller Carp. In Lancashire we called a jigger a ginell... often a space between houses and provided access to the back yards of houses. It was a handy place for me bike. Oh! happy days.
