Firstly :

Light Fitting - 2 Blacks Together with Blue of Light Fitting.
Red (Switch Wire) to Brown of Light Fitting.
Earths To Earth.

Switch - You need to check your other 2 way switch. but usually :
Red to Common
Yellow to L1
Blue to L2
Earth To earth Terminal

I usually dress up in other peoples clothes whilst on site and this is normal through-out the industry.

Only kidding.....report the company to NICEIC (if NICEIC company used) and let them know ASAP.....Dont want a silly spark causing a bad name for the rest of us......

There - you see - one example where DIY wiring is OK! - if my wife came home and found me rummaging through her underwear I doubt if she'd throw me out

If this is for real you should notify the police - he may well have been stealing knickers.

Look on the bright side though - at least it was the clean ones he was rifling...

He should be careful he doesn't end up on the receiving end of a major discharge.
