O.k. so, what's a "jumper"??

i'm from the US and when i read books by english authors sometimes i find it hard to picture exactly what something is.

i know a jumper is a piece of clothing, but is it a sweatshirt, sweater, long sleeve shirt..or do all of them qualify as a jumper?

THANKS U.K. ANSWERS!

also, can someone specify what qualifies as a "Flat"?? is it what we would call an apartment, or is it more like a condo?

thanks, again!

Answers:
Jumper is a sweater, as said above. Specifically, it is knitted, long sleeved and round or V necked.
If it has buttons or a zipper up the front, then is is a cardigan. If it does not have any sleeves, then it is a tank-top.
You have to be careful with a flat, in places like London, Cambridge (posh places) it is like an apartment. However, flats in poorer areas are like single or double rooms in high rises, usually very low quality and quite often synomynous with people on benefits, or druggie etc. Please note I am not saying they all are, but that is the image of most, and I have stayed in a few with friends in my past.
A jumper, also called pullover, is a sweater. Can't say why.
A flat is an apartment. A jumper is a sweater.
I don't know exactly what you call it over there, but it's like a t-shirt, but long sleeved and wooley, they keep you warm. I hope that made sense lol.

A flat is pretty much the same as an apartment.
a jumper is usually woolen. so yes more like a sweater.

a flat is an apartment. i dont know what a condo is!
a jumper is a dress that has straps over the shoulders (like overalls) and is worn with a blouse or turtleneck, or other top
(think school uniform, for example)

and, yes, a flat is an apartment
I don't know about a flat, but a jumper is a sweater.
Right a jumper is a piece of clothing and it can be called a sweater, and a flat is an appartment.
Yes a "jumper" is like a sweatshirt not fleece but more commonly a woven fabric, also a flat is more like a single occupancy dwelling, with one or two bedrooms, they vary greatly in style and size, from a little cosy pad to part of a massive multi storey complex
Jumper is a long sleeved sweater.
A flat can be an apartment on one level, but can also mean a flat tyre on a car i.e. with a puncture.

A jumper is a person diving away to avoid americans on the street looking ridiculous talking loudly and will they please stay in Americal. And why are they all thick? and loud and looking for cemeteries full of their ancestors. Give us a break. Nobody wants to be related to boring Americans. Big bellies, big cars, big arses and loud. Don' t even try to understand us. A flat should be a place where all American tourists stay in the U.K., kept al together, they could shop, visit graveyards and bore the pants of each other not us

Sweater, pullover, jersey, jumper.all the same thing. Flat, apartment, maisonette, co-op, all the same thing. US condos tend to be more luxurious than UK flats.
