"Septic tanks"...I haven't heard that in some years, now.  LOL!  That one was always my favourite. :P

Welcome, Mitch! Loads of Brits on here, so we have access to skilled interpreters should the need arise.

I live with a Brit, married him in fact. He is not English, though, and this distinction is enormously important to him, especially now that his country has gone and won the Big Deal Rugby Something.

I look forward to getting to know you better. :waving;

Welcome, Mitch.  I'm married to a Geordie...from New Castle-on-Tyne.  And if you can understand a Geordie, you can understand anyone!

We have a cousin in Loughbrough,(I think that is how it's spelled). 

When house plumbing is not hooked up to a sewer line, the "flush" goes into a septic tank which has to be pumped out at regular intervals.
