Light not turning off?

It looks like someone's fed the live+neutral through the switch and then onto the rose as the pendant is wired directly to the l/n feed. The "break" (to turn the light on/off) is directly at the switch rather than through the rose (where it normally it), it looks as if you have a short between the feed into the switch and the wires out to the pendant somewhere in the wall.
 
It doesn't look like that at all tbh lol. He would have mentioned a extra two cores at the switch if that was the case.

HardwareGeek is the only one to listen to here, but imo it's time for an electrician as your skill set doesn't seem to expand to lighting faults.

You would hope so, but I wouldn't put it past someone who doesn't have much idea about electrical circuits not to mention something unusual about them.

The only other thing is that it's switched at a junction box and that has the fault. Both would be equally bizarre methods of wiring up a light circuit that only has one bulb controlled by the switch, unless something has been removed or disconnected.
