If you have the typical British system, the kitchen cold water comes off the city's system while all the rest of the water comes from an attic storage cistern with, or without, a pump. If you have a pump, the hot water flow may not be sufficient to activate it so you need the additional flow of the loo, which then causes the pressure flow needed to provide pressure everywhere else, including the hot water.
