Tis Rhyming Slang LoonSeptic tanks = Yanks.
weewitch got there first.
Loon - I love the eccentricities of the weights and measures we use.
We buy petrol in litres yet we buy cars that do x number of miles to the gallon.
We buy milk in pints but butter in grammes.
I know my height in feet and inches but ask me to measure something and I'll do it in metres.
But the best one is this: If it's cold we say 'Blimey it must be -2'
If it's hot 'gosh it must be up in the 80s'
