Impressed that you re-terminated that into a new pullcord switch!
I confess that I do struggle unless I have a BIG back-box...had to do it differently on my shower...
No pics, so don't worry!

It is a deep pattress, the photo doesn't quite show it. I despise fitting pullcords. Prefer a nice big 45A dp switch hidden in a cupboard somewhere close by, but beggers cant be choosers.

This shower was another case of man-of-the-house-tries-to-do-a-bit and the wife ends up calling the professional.
Recent job, I was asked to swap a ceiling pendant to a new fitting in someones kitchen. The wife said the hubby had already tried and now it was tripping the breaker.
Got there to see 2 blacks in L & N, and 2 earth wires. (60's semi wiring in conduit)
Didn't take me long to realise one of the earths was a plain yellow, not yellow/green, and the 2 blacks should be both neutral.
The hubby works away and the house has had no downstairs lights since last November.
 
Westy, thanks for the explanation...I get it now. How, err, mm...ingenious to fit a pullcord that way.
Littlespark, have to agree re big 45A DP in a cupboard...much easier, to fit and maintain.
 
Sticky backed trunking became unsticky?
For the price some hairdressers charge, they could have stretched the budget to a few rawlplugs and screws

It's hard to tell from the photo but the run is not at all straight. It's not so much a case of it becoming unstuck as it had never been stuck down in the first place. The SWA would have looked much better neatly clipped instead. I have spent approx 30hrs fixing various aspects of the carppy work done there so far, and could easily spend another 30hrs.

Oh, and it's not the hairdressers at fault here, it's a combination of the landlord and the people renting out the adjacent unit which this SWA supplies...
