[Talk-GB] Car boot sale sites

[Paul Berry]

> I'm quite interested in the temporal nature of some sites, e.g. a station
car park that is used for a car boot sale once-a-fortnight. Users of the
map would probably find the information useful but the map is mostly
rendered as a single static time. I think Christmas Markets and County
Fairs have been pushing the envelope on these.

An appropriate opening_hours tag would help in these cases though I'm not
aware of any mapping services that make use of them dynamically.

Regards,
*Paul*
