Thanks Guys, especially Tadleybaggie... This post has a good start and a not-so-good ending...The advice given was so good that I replaced all 3 switches within 30 minutes.  That allowed me time for a couple of pints down the Club.  Unfortunately, the sun was out and a couple of mates were in the club.  That couple of pints turned into a 'few' pints.  I'm now £30 down and got a flea in the ear of er indoors but at least the switches are sorted 

At least, you did the electrical work before going to the club. 

Precisely.  Many years ago a friend of my father removed a double switch in the hall, incorporating a 2 way to decorate and left all the bare wires exposed.  Went to the pub for several, came back and decides some of the wires in the switch weren't needed.  Out came the wire cutters.......  Long story short he nearly killed himself and did literally blow up the old style fuse box.  He got a lot more than a flea in his ear from the missus.
