Hi!

My neighbours obviously have weak bladders.
Never in all my life have I heard 2 people going to to the toilet so
often.

Every time they go to the toilet I can hear the pull cord light
switching on and off. It's like they are in my bathroom.

Whoever invented those hiddeous and noisy switches should be thrashed
with a wet fish.... repeatedly.

Does anyone have a suggestions?
Is it possible to remove the noisy switch thingy? (That is the tech
term!)
Can you buy quiet ones?
Or soundproof it in anyway?

Thanks,
Googly!

Don't know the answer to a quiet switch, but a friend of mine had the same
problem with his three kids getting up in the night. When one got up and
'clunked' the switch it must have disturbed one of the others, when child
number 2 'cluncked' the switch.....This went on for ages before he hit upon
the idea of having a infa red passive (like on an outside light) wired in so
the light came on automatically when somebody walked into the bathroom.
