Ok, thanks. Thats that then.

Oh ok, thanks guys. Is that common for there not be a neutral on a light switch? Can it be done another way or what are my options?

Excellent, that makes sense. thank you! i couldn't understand which wire was the one supplying the electricity but you've explained that to me. many thanks for your help as always.

thanks EFLImpudence, i guess without it, it would mean the light would be on constant? sorry i am no electrician and was just looking to see how my current wiring would fit onto the wifi switch? Your help would be most appreciated.
