[Talk-GB] Car boot sale sites

[Chris Hodges]

Plenty of conventional markets and especially farmers' markets are also 
infrequent (e.g. plenty of weekly examples of the former, 2 days/month 
summer only for the latter) so it's not significantly different.  
Presenting time-varying information on a map is always going to be tricky
