Anyway, Ive took all the "advice" issued. Thanks.

Im off to quote on replacing 17 period lightswitches ;p

Good lad.

came across 'bakerlite' toggles recently, some appeared brand new and all were deemed ok. loose connections could also cause 'arc'. had modern switch that 'lit up' when operated. old might not mean unsafe.

See the difference in this post ? This is genuine advice minus the smart arse comments...Thanks Jaypp.

Then it's a good thing you didn't get any.

The advice you were given was sound albeit wrapped in a bit of gentle humour.

Suck it up or move on.

Are these the old switches where the covers are screwd on by Hand old Bakelite small round thingys ?
, if so that's an issue as potential access to live part without the use of a tool . I would code that as a 2 me thinks .
Funnily enough I'm doing a job in a old hospital witch is now a museum were I am using the old( looking ) bespoke switches on wooden backing fancy
