    But jokes aside, I think this question is interesting but...
    The old chain and handle contraption with the reservoir high on the wall can be found on both sides, even on old installations you sometimes see holes on both sides, so it can be fitted as is convenient.
    The modern installation, with the reservoir built just on top of the "throne" has the flushing handle very often on the right hand side, when you face the contraption. sometimes it is a button on top.
    On the most modern installation, with the reservoir built in the wall, the button will be central.

    • OK, jokes aside, but which side? left side plumbing is the standard, why?
