As the title says my brakes lights on the omega are not working,

When I start the car and put my foot on the brake the "Check" light on the MID does not go off and the MID does not say "brake light fault", so I ask the wife to stand behind the car as I applied the brake pedal, and nothing!! I've drove the car down the street and the brakes are fine.

Any Ideas

brake light switch on the brake pedal may have become dislodged/disconected/or be FUBAR ..

MID won't say that you have a fault. It works, as you suggest, by the 'brake light' message going off when you press the pedal if all is OK. You have checked the lamps/bulbs? 

A new brake switch isn't too expensive and is quite easy to fit.
