Most of the time far too cold and inhospitable to actually use, apart from the brief period of hot weather in the summer week, when it becomes too unbearably hot and stuffy. 2. A little known movement to help stop the Conservatives (the more right wing of the two main UK political parties) sliding into obscurity. Name derived from conserve (conserving, conservation), and the old name for the Conservative party - Tory party.

And there was me thinking it was a swindle that worked actively for the Conservative party....
