Ok. The light is on the same 'ring' as another light I think (when I

Yes, really not a good idea.
You have 2 options:
1. Run a new earth.
2. Replace the light with a double insulated plastic one that does not
require earthing.
Ok Grunff, thanks for your replies. I think I'm going to try and find
another earth nearby.
Don't forget that you'll have to inform the building control officer
with a view to inspection....
