    The last time I wired a light, my wife went to dust it and finished up on the other side of the room, crying and accusing me of trying to kill  her. I don't touch electrics anymore.

    you are not suspose to put the wire around her neck,sunny,

    A 2 way switch has one on and one off. You mean a 3 way. The wires going from each switch to the light must be part of the same line to the breaker. I think that is how I used to wire them. Watching ROMOS' video was an eye opener.. European wiring is a bit different than USA

    Roughly right ,you have what is called two strappers between each switch, and one switch has a wire to the light ,while the other has one live wire from the lighting circuitt its on,
