turned the light on in my lounge last night; the lights flickered wildly and I could SEE orange flamey stuff moving around behind the plaster work, and the switch started smoking.
I panicked and spent about an hour in the dark staring at it (may have been drinking) before thinking fuck it and going to bed. now I need a bastard electrician.

It may well have just been a surge at the transformer...
Best thing to do:
when you get in take a shower and ensure that you are still wet from head to foot...
If possible have a bowl of water handy to stand in...
Turn on as many electrical items as you can...
and then run your (still wet) hands over the plaster work to see if you can locate any charge.
