OK, now I'm officially confused. As a (North)American, I have never 
heard of a Swap Meet (was that the right term?) A "jumble" IS a 
church or community bazaar. A garage or yard sale I know about. One 
person (or a group of friends or neighbours) sell their "junk" on 
the front yard or in their garage. Now, do you have "flea markets" 
in the UK?
