I had never heard of a car boot sale, but I had heard of a car boot (a device that fit around a car's wheel to prevent it from turning). Wikipedia says it is basically a flea market except people selling out of their car's trunks.

It annoys me that I cannot make the top panel (I have no idea what to call it) either go away or have windows be drawn over it. The only way to get rid of it is when an application has an actual full-screen mode, but then half of the time i
