You MUST connect the earth cores to the switch plate!
Don't worry - I do.
This is just what I discovered inside when I opened it up.
I might not be as clued up as you, but I'm not THAT stupid!
Thanks for your concern though - much appreciated.

Have you changed any wiring elsewhere or ONLY at that switch?
Just there - i just wanted to replace the tired old white plastic switch with a shiny new one in keeping with the newly decorated room.
Did you turn the problem one on and off a dozen or so times as I said they do stick when new? And if it stuck in the contact close position you will get the affect you are talking about.
I take it you did try the cables in the opposite gangs and the problem stayed in the same gang but other light. Just to confirm there are not wiring issues.
I have done - still no joy. Seems pretty conclusive.
Even as you suggest, having swapped the cables to the opposite gangs, same problem just with the other light.
Swapped the switch for a new one and it works fine now - thanks for your help.
