Not sure, but running extension leads into bathrooms is asking for
trouble.


I'm surprised there wasn't a socket in the bathroom. Plenty of countries
allow this.


In fact its only really Britain of the majors that doesn't, stupidly IMO.


Why is it stupid, we can see what happens when electrica equipment is used in the bath. I thought the problme was that our regs require bathrooms to be earthed taps/pipes etc, where not all countires do.
If you have a bathroom that isn't earthed then uo'r likey to be safer using and electrical applience while sitting in the bath.

of course the answer now is to buy a bath with USB ports built in.
