strung together this:

Are basin taps the same size as the connectors to toilet cisterns? What
I would like to do is connect the toilet cistern with a flexible
connector, can it be done?

Depends what size they are.

1/2" basin tap connector is the same size as a 1/2" toilet cistern
connector.
If one or the other is a different size then they are not.
I've just had a few Armitage cisterns that had some funny size
European thread, not 1/2".

B&Q were selling some where the hole in the cistern was too small
to take a standard 1/2" one, and they don't sell ball-valves which
do fit the hole. I friend took one back when he discovered this,
having tried using a different type of valve from the one supplied.
