I hate the b***dy things and would replace it with a wall one outside the

A kindred spirit! My builder looked at me very oddly when I said I
wanted the bathroom light switches outside on the wall, but I was
paying, so he shrugged and did it.

I can live with the remote possibility of somebody accidentally (or
deliberately) turning off the lights while I'm in there, if it means
avoiding those horrible dangly bits of string :-)
