Oh! Attached is a very dull day pic which I managed to clean up. You might have saved me a LR sub.

So - is this sometimes called Jagger?

Never heard it called "Jagger" but since the pixelation at angled hard edges has a "saw tooth" appearance, "Jagger" sounds descriptive to me.
The spacing of the saw tooth "teeth" varies with the angle of the hard edge relative to the grid that is your sensors pixel array. Notice I refer to "hard edge" and do not limit this effect to "straight edge". On a curved hard edge you can readily see the spacing of the "teeth" varying as the curved edge varies its angular relationship to the sensor grid.
A straight hard edge at 45deg to the sensor grid has the most closely spaced teeth ... and vice versa etc etc.

You should have posted a picture because people were just guessing. This is moire and it is considered a form a noise.

Thanks for explanation and advice
I use IrfanView which is free but welcomes contributions. I used it for decades without contributing, but a few years ago, I did contribute.
Anyway, if I need to fix your problem in my photos, I use IrfanView's Median Filter through its Effects menu. It works nicely. Below are two examples. The first one had too much sharpening as a jpeg filel Look at the rocks and dirt bank at the bottom of the photo. Then I applied the median filter at its lowest setting (3) followed by one pass at sharpening. Most of the aliasing artifacts are gone but note that the electrical lines overhead can also be lost in the process. --Richard
