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.

Infra-red..not a good investment for those people who often doze off while
sat upon the toilet after a few too many. These folks are often saved from
entering deep sleep by the existance of
the bog-standard (Ugg!) light. Thunderbox slumberers will not be very
pleased with their I-R
switch when the light returns because their right elbow may still be
attached to his knee and face still being nursed by the corresponding hand
but his nose is but 1cm from the tiles.
