Weird drain design

You imagine wrong.
Well it leaves my property in a seperate pipe to my sewage, heading for the road. Where the f*ck else would it go?
It may join a separate drain that conveys it to the nearest water course.
Er.... I was saying my rainwater drain from my gutters joins the pipe for the drains at the side of the street, neither of which is processed for sewage.
And I hope they don't mind washing machine water going into it, that was more convenient to plumb in. Or worse, the hosing down from my parrot aviary.
Which is surely where the street drains go?
Exactly. You see, you knew. If only you'd stopped to think. No sewage company wants rainwater going through it's works.
That is illegal.
It's not like it's s*it from the toilet.
I said my surface water joins the street drains, and you said I was wrong. Now you're saying I'm right. Make up your mind.
Actually I've no idea where it goes, as I just ran water down it and it didn't go through any of the pipes under my own manhole covers! I guess we all share each other's drains. I also have a pipe coming from my neighbour into my sewage drain - ugh! So half that s*it I just plunged out was hers.
