Most houses have the hall & landing lights two way switched, and
have 'upstairs lights' and 'downstairs lights' breakers/fuses.

I were changing a landing light fitting t'other day & pulling the
downstairs fuse left it on.

I thought the landing light took its power from the 'downstairs'
lights? Is there an accepted way of wiring these up of is either
acceptable?

I'll bet that you had a borrowed neutral on the landing light


Is that some sort of insider joke?
Why would borrowing a neutral have any effect or are you suggesting
that handymen don't put the switches in the correct place?


Handymen don't 'put' switches anywhere. They replace like for like.
