Normally toilet tissue will completely break apart after being in water for
a short period of time. But these so called 'moist toilet tissues' now for
sale in some supermarkets do not dissolve at all.

Will the sewerage system in north London U.K., deal with these Strong type
moist tissues o.k., or is there likely to be trouble with blocked pipes,
etc?

You'd be so lucky - or similar lyrics!

To the OP, what is the brand, are they advertised? I'm worried that SWMBOd
might be guilible enough! Maybe I'd ought to accompany her to Tosca this
weekend!

So it's your cat who thinks she's Sarah Bernhardt at 4 am?

I suspect once they hit the main collector line, it's large enough that it would
cause no more problem than all the other non-water soluble stuff that gets
flushed.

I had to auger out the smaller line between the house and the street once. Ended
up being plugged because the SO was using these and they ended up catching on a
burr inside.

If you mean the ones like Baby-wipes, they are not advised for flushing.
Especially if on a septic system. Yes, they can block pipes. We have
problems with Marines on ships doing that all the time grin.

That is what I like ,giving it in plain english.

Are these the circular, diameter maybe 3 inches, "Tucks", or
something larger? How much larger?

I guess if these things really do catch on burrs, etc, then maybe
a ziploc bag nearby to put them (used) in *might* be worth
a try? They come already-wet (witch hazel, I was once told),
and maybe wouldn't stink so much if the bag were then "zipped"
shut (after most air compressed out, of course)?

I took a trip to Guatemala once, and down there you're
told to put even toilet paper in the waste-basket -- NOT
to flush down the toilet (sewer etc can't handle it?).

Experienced the same in Turkey and Cyprus. Different cultures, different
sewage system expectations.
