i want to put in a light in my downstairs toilet. Obviously I wish to use a pull switch. Can i put up a light with a pull switch installed between the light and socket and plugged into a 3 pin socket? Very very new to this electric school. Would appreciate any help whatsoever!! If this can't be done I will have to use a battery light instead.

If you're that new to electrics, or have any doubts whatsoever, please consult someone who knows what they are doing. Battery lights are no substitute for the real thing 
In a WC, you dont have to have a pullswitch. Its not a bathroom. A wall switch will suffice.
And it would be preferable to have this wired into the local lighting circuit. If you cannot do this, or do not know how to wire a switch / light, please get an electrician in.
Out of interest, why does the WC not have a light to start with?

reason why it doesn't have a light in already is because we had a loo put in the end of the utility room and then put a stud wall in to seperate it
