    Not me, the pull cord snapped off my bathroom light switch last Tuesday and I still haven't got it working again yet. If I'm honest I regret not spending the extra pound to buy a whole new switch rather than just a new cord.

    Nah, if you buy a whole new switch you have to get an electrician to inspect your work and issue a certificate... :sigh:

          You have to unwire the switch and take it apart to fit the new cord. Putting it back together properly is proving a challenge, I finally got it sounding like it works properly, just no effect on the darkness levels.

                      Well that leaves you a lot of scope. I can't sing - can't even carry a tune in a bucket. And I have proved fairly useless at gardening. I will however be very annoyed if you win the lottery, as I have shown myself to be completely useless at that. :sigh:

                          Why didn't you just tie a shoe lace to the old snapped cord like the rest of us?

                                I'm 6'2", if there was any of the old cord hanging out then it wouldn't be an issue at all, but it was looped through the switch, so the pull that snapped it also pulled the remains out.

                                        Apparently one of your strong points is impressing people you hardly know with your brilliant displays of taste and tact. I'm not anxious to see where your weaknesses lie. At least you have a talent for writing an entirely accurate Subject line; some newbies have trouble with that. Then again, perhaps you just got lucky this time.

                                        Will Rogers never met me.
