   I've been a plumber for 30 years, and I have no idea what the difference is between the two buttons on a toilet flush. Far too late to ask now

     @fesshole no one does.
     Is the little button for the little flush, or is the big button for the flush you use most often?
     There's logic for both lines of reasoning.

     @fesshole The first one calls the operator and the second one returns your 6d.

     @fesshole Bollocks. I do most of own plumbing because most domestic plumbing's pretty doable, if you're DIY minded (no disrespect, plumbers of the world. You're all too busy to change my tap, anyway). I've plumbed-in maybe half a dozen toilets.

     It's very obvious what the 2 flush modes do (half flush/full flush). The problem is that there's no universal standard for how the buttons are mounted.

     Take your cistern cover off and spin the button round to what makes sense to you.
