#4 by @UNG clearly should have signalled to the OP that his terminology was incorrect and the blue wire was not a neutral and a switch would not join a live and neutral in the way the OP was thinking.
I'm a little surprised that a trainee hasn't been taught how a light switch can be wired, but it may be very early days, however diving in with no knowledge is seldom effective.

It's a switch live Baz not a neutral. Blue doesn't always mean neutral. Glad it's working chap. Trial and error probably isn't the best approach to electrics though.
