Why do light fittings in a bathroom use a pull cord rather than an ordinary wall switch?

The basic answer is to prevent electric shocks. Wet bodies and electricity are a dangerous combination. The chord is made of a non conducting material like nylon and maintains physical separation from hand to electric accessory (switch).

Why does bathroom light go off when you turn on bedroom light?
That's one I've never seen. Does the bathroom light turn ON when the bedroom light is switched Off? Does the bathroom light switch turn the bathroom light on and off normally when the bedroom light switch is left on? Need to answer these questions, then find where the bathroom light power comes from. It's power supply should either go directly from the power oanel to the bathroom light or to the bathroom light switch. The bathroom light switch merely acts as an interrupter for the hot leg of this power supply.

Why can l only get power the the kitchen light switch when turning on the bathroom light switch?
It sounds like the feed for the kitchen is fed through the bathroom switch box. The black feeding the kitchen light is connected to the wrong side of the switch. There should be two black on one side of the switch and one on the other. One of the two blacks need to be moved to the other side of the switch. **BE VERY CAREFUL or CALL A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN** Even with the switch OFF the live side of the switch will be LIVE!!

Why do bathroom light switches usually have a cord hanging from them?
I have never seen a bathroom light switch with a cord hanging from it and I've seen a lot of bathrooms. But if i had to guess. I'd probably say to turn them off. Electricity is conducted very easily through water. So if you let water run from your wet hands into a light switch in a bathroom there is a chance you could get a shock, even get killed. So some bathrooms have the switch on the roof with a long string to turn it on and off. So there is no chance of water getting to the switch.
