Default Washing machines

I have just moved house.

Previously I had the washing machine waste outlet pipe slung into a
dedicated WM waste pipe. It was kept in place by two flexible "wings"
on the end of the outlet pipe. The plumbing in the new house has a
spigot attached to the sink waste pipe to which the WM outlet pipe is
intended to be attached by a force fit rubber fitting. I bought a new
outlet pipe that has such a force fitting, however, I can not replace
the existing outlet pipe from the washing machine because it uses a
factory fit that the replacment pipe will not connect to. Similarly the
current oultet pipe with wings will not fit on the spigot.

Solutions?

Can you not force the WM outlet pipe onto the spiggot and jubilee clip
it on, this is what I had to do for SWMBO in law....Not very elegant
but it worked!

Cheers
