If the kitchen sink waste is just discharging into the back
garden
(ie no
drains) what laws are been broken?

it's waste water not foul so who cares ..........


Waste water is foul water dickhead



There is a distinction between grey water and sewage,


Not for Jim. He doesnt even take the dishes out first....

sorry i am old fashioned and favour the three pipe system just like
the
old
sensible days ........

THREE?!

yes foul, waste and rainwater ...

In the good old days it all ended up in a combined sewer anyway because
there was no storm sewer.....the reason the waste as kept separate and
then
joined the underground foul line by means of a four inch trap in the
ground
was that lead traps weren't very good at keeping foul gasses out of the
sink....

Why would it matter what the U bend was made of?

ever seen a lead trap?........

No. Although I saw something under a cast iron bath, but I couldn't see
the internal shape as the outside was much bigger.

Why would a lead trap be a different shape?

they just don't give a good depth of seal as modern traps do .......
