Hi sockmonster if you're still around. Ours is like a previous post "metal braided flexible hose and a small black-handled quarter turn valve" except there's one of the black quarter-turn taps at both ends of the hose and you have to open both of them to get the water to run.

Officially you are meant to actually detach the flexible hose when you are not using it (that's why it needs a tap at both ends), but most people leave them attached.

morning, amis you hit the jackpot, there was another tap hiding behind a cupboard with a hole cut in it, we are warm again and thank you all for your support and not taking the piss out of me for being so utterly useless, this is the first house dh and I have lived in and I think we are only just learning where everything actully is after a year.
