When doing this previously I would mark out the tile for cutting using
whatever was at hand but mostly the line for cutting would wash off when
using a wet tile cutter.
What is best way to mark (a line) and with what? so it doesnt wash off
easily.

Permanent Marker. You can buy them in WHS - Staedler or Sharpie with
sharp points. Permanent is a slight misnomer - the ink can be removed
using an alcohol based solvent - Meths or if you don't have any, Gin or
Vodka :-)

Suppose they might well be now. I've still got a stock from my tape

Ok thanks just ordered one on ebay for £1.95 (red) that should allow
marking for both white and black tiles.

Argh, a Job I hated. In the end I used a very sharp pointy thing as this
seemed to make less mess at the edges when cutting them. Horrible to see
though, I was losing my sight at the time!

I still do too but I find it does start to wash off the moment the
wet tile saw spray hits it. Some ? dried? edges of the sharpie
line usually last long enough to get the job done, but
complicated cuts can be a bit of a gamble/need a tweek because if
it.

Yes, but it'll last 10 years or more, this is providing you dont:
Stand on it and snap it into pieces.
Leave it under someone's bath.
Lose it in a van full of tools / rubbish / things-that-might-come-in-handy
Put it on the dashboard and watch it roll down a heater vent.

A bog standard pencil worked for me when I tiled a kitchen, utility
room, storage room, bathroom, toilet and shower room.
