Snarts = Snouts?

 

You're right. It is "snout." It used to sound like "snart" when people said it.

 

Actually, according to the Urban dictionary, snart is

 

"when one farts and sneezes at the same time, regardless of which causes which"

 

How would I l know?

Many of the old snuff takers or eveen landlords in the pubs where there was free snuff available at the bar, would ask you if you wanted a 'bit up'.

 

Nowadays you would get a rollicking if you asked a question like that.

 

The old snuffers were asking if you wanted a pinch of stuff to put up your nose.

 

Happy Days!

Do you remember the packets of 'sweet fags' for kids?

 

I haven't seen any of those for years.

i remember 3 or 4 different types,the candy stick,with a red end,the paper wrapped chocolate ones,you could eat the paper too,the chewing gum ones,where you had to peel the paper off,and the chocolate ones with the jelly on the end,with sugar on the jelly,making it look like a real,lit ,fag.
