I always have a hard time explaining this but it's cockney rhyming slang. where a two word phrase is reduced to the first word, then the second is rhymed with a different word to form new slang. For instance to "take a butcher's" means to look at something, since look rhymes with "butcher's hook."

In the case of seppo, it's derived from "septic tank" since tank rhymes with yank. So it refers to Americans.
