Voltage down switch wire, switch off. Help!

Evening all hope your all avoiding the nasty bugs that are going round! I'll keep it brief, got called out to a bungalow that had a ceiling rose pendant that was flickering after being switched off. Testing it I found 10 volts at the switch live when switched in off position, 230 when on. Fiddled about for a while and had a look above (it is accessible being a bungalow) bit of a head scratcher really. All in all got a bit confused so put everything back together and said will go back in the morning, light wasn't flickering when I left!. Not major but just very annoying...any thoughts much appreciated. Was wondering about an induced voltage from something elst but all the cables in roof seem sufficiently far enough away from other things.
