Apologies if I should't have asked why it happened...I just didn't want to leave it if something was inherently unsafe in the house (other than the combination of me and a screwdriver).
And I appreciate that I probably shoudn't have been trying to work out what was going on myself in the first place. I was just curious as to why we have these switches that apparently aren't doing anything [so I was checking if they were live - again, just trying to get a handle on what it's all doing], so I can ask the spark if he knows what they were for. (I was never planning on doing the other work myself, but before I wasted someone's time getting them out here to look at it all, I thought I'd check it was actually wired in)
I will let you know what he says!
