Default Wiring a bathroom pull-cord light switch

What is the correct way to wire up the switch?


Red and black to Com and S1 respectively, bare wire sleeved with
green/yellow sleeving and taken to the earth terminal in the backbox, if
there is one - which there should be.


That is assuming there is only one cable coming into the switch,
from a ceiling rose or junction box. What the OP has outlined is a
supply cable coming into the switch and another cable then being run
to the lamp.
