Good one Katek smile
Growing up our sitooterie was our full length tin bath turned upside down.
Roasted the bum and back of the legs on a good day.

I think you might be confusing conservatories with conservatoires. All music and drama with potted plants decoratively placed, and not a sun lounger in sight.

Up here they're called sitooteries!!
(Translation provided if required!) We have a sun lounge, daaahlings....

Q. What is conservatories?

A. A sort of jam or spread made from boiled members of the government.

Some think that chutneys and pickles can be included in this category, but strictly speaking that is not the case, as there no MP's called chutney and Pickles has recently stood down.

My friends in Germany have got a conservatory, but they call it their
Winter Garden which I think is a great name for it.

Just had a proper roof put on the conservatory. Lots of adverts for this in the papers. It's made such a difference. Would recommend. No longer have to worry about cold,hot, noise, moss or that nasty green algei.

I'd prefer a conversatory - somewhere I could sit with friends for a chat and brew cupcake

conservatories is basically a room with a glass roof and walls, attached to a house at one side and used as a sun lounge or for growing delicate plants.
