connecting a washing machine to a tap

I have just moved into a new house and I want to install a washing machine. However there was not one previously and there doesnt seem to be easy access to the plumbing. Am I correct in saying that with the right device I can just connect it to the kitchen tap and put the outlet in to the sink? If so what device do I need? Is it just a case of making the fitting of the washing machine pipe water tight with the tap?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Gidon

Given the wide variety of taps and mixer taps these days, you aren't likely to get something to fit on your tap successfully. Have you thought about adding a tap somewhere using a self cutting tap like this http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/how_to_fit_a_self_cutting_tap.htm
There's some other info on their about plumbing and waste pipes too.A house isn't a home without a cat.

I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

You do get a poorer flow rate with SCT, but I've used them with 2 washing machines and a dishwasher, and they worked fine.When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.0
