Please see my answer to @winstonalden to reveal the mysteries of waterbutts. For the party element, waterbutts are optional (any excuse will do), but you do need sociable neighbours and a handy store of food and drink to offer around. Possibly, if we were younger, the hot weather may have led to some gratuitous jumping into water butts or other water dispersal activities. But as we're older and mindful of hosepipe bans etc, that didn't happen, just "would you like a beer?", "mm, I don't mind if I do ... what do you think of the 300l. Waterbutt compared to the 600l?" And "have you got a hacksaw for the downpipe?"
Thank you for taking the time, it was just plain ignorance on my party about waterbutts, I probably would have said something like 'That tank that holds all the water from our roof' or something with way too many words.
In terms of any excuse for a party, I'm the neighbor with the fun tools who's not afraid to use them in order to get invited to the waterbutt party!
Let me introduce you to the World of Waterbutts. The one in question looks like this:
But one of the areas for debate was, do we want to plan for this arrangement?
+1 for demanding answers to what in the world is a waterbutt and how I too can get in on the party????

That is just my kind of party!

Go for it! Don't butts usually go better in pairs?
Good point!
