lid

A lid, also known as a cover, is part of a container, and serves as the closure or seal, usually one that completely closes the object. Lids can be placed on small containers such as tubs as well as larger lids for open-head pails and drums. Some lids have a security strip or a tamper-evident band to hold the lid on securely until opening is desired or authorized. These are usually irreversible to indicate that the container has been opened.

    How do I get the lid off this cistern?

    It looks like a standard 2 push button lid, but there are not slots for a flat head screw driver to go into the buttons to lift them up. It is a B&Q toilet I think (from previous owners ) so are there any specific tricks required to access the cistern on these units? Grateful for any help.
