> Has the first Bill-ed incident occurred so far?
Yes, and it's going to keep me up all night.
A couple of hours ago he turned the old (original) light switch off in the kitchen and the light didn't turn off. Rotated the fluro to shut it off.
Going back in the kitchen just now and trying to turn the light on (force of habit) noticed the switch was extremely hot.
Have pulled the lighting circuit fuse and removed the light switch and taped off the wires.
It's the ancient cotton-wrapped wiring, so NFI if its still smouldering in the wall or ceiling.
