Okay, I haven't read through all the stuff here, so my query may have been
answered; if so, just pop me a note off list.

If a jumper is an American sweater, then what do the Brits call the
sleeveless dress-like garment under which one might wear a long-sleeved
blouse?  This is what we call a jumper...or used to when I was about twenty
or thirty years younger. :-)

Cheers,

Lee :-)
