In the UK it is unusual to have a neutral at the light switch. In the main all wires should be brown or covered with brown sleeving but it has been known to fall off.
Ok thanks the light switch I took off was a real relic made of pot and a brown bakelite casing in the switch it had the two red wires in opposite terminals but it didn't say on it which was which
The only other wire visable was a black one which I presumed was neutral that one wasn't connected to the switch at all but went like a loop from 1 main cable to the other......thanks
Yeah sorry I meant the old switch terminals didn't have any letters or symbol's on them so I couldn't use it for a reference when fitting the new switch
