look on this link http://www.screwfix.com/cats/101168/Plumbing/Washing-Machine-Accs
yeh sorry it's the waste.
i checked that screwfix link but im finding out what I need to do specifically to get a hose with a female thread connection on the end, into a spigotted trap.
I'm thinking maybe just cut the hose then attach a new, longer hose with one of these

- although my main concern is it being water tight!

A couple of jubilee clips on the connector should do the trick. If you want to be doubly sure, put a few wraps of ptfe over the clip's spigots before you push the hose on and jubilee it down.
thats useally what you would use when joining two waste hoses.
but i can't see why yours has a female thread on the end.
have you a pic ?

You don't suppose the op is getting confused with a waste hose and a blue/red connection pipe?
i don't know, his confused me.
Or has the OP still got the spigot usually supplied as part of a waste trap still pushed into the end of the waste outlet hose?
Washing machine outlet hoses usually have a plain end that can be either formed into a crook shape and hooked into the top of a washing machine trap standpipe, or pushed over a barbed spigot that's part of a sink trap, and usually clamped with a hose clip.
Usually you can pull out the spigot, leaving a bare hose end, then fit a hose extension kit, which comes with a double ended barbed hose connector and clips to join the hoses.
Or buy a replacement drain hose of an appropriate length to replace the hose on the machine
Or install a seperate washing machine trap adjacent to the machine.
