Thanks for the replies. My internet went down exactly at that moment I was typing & finally got sorted yesterday. Anyway, I realise I only have a permanent live at one end when I need it at both!! or do I ?

Thats what I thought but I fitted the lights before I came home and one of the lights worked fine from all 3 switches but the other light, you could turn it on & off from the two 2 way switches but wouldnt turn off from the intermediate switch.
