No switches or plugs in bathrooms.

Everyone who has visited the UK will remember the first time they entered a bathroom and could not find the light switched. Some of us spent quite some time feeling a bit embarrassed looking for the bloody switched and thinking: "come on, I cannot be such a dumb, it has to be somewhere". Well, it wasn't anywhere, was it!. They are outside the bathroom. The reason comes from the very early times of electricity in houses about a hundred years ago. At that time, the insulation materials used to protect the cables were not as advanced as now and a bit of humidity was likely to produce a shortcut. Shouldn't the regulations catch up with technology?.
