Here in aus, sockets in bathrooms are completely normal. I think when the UK got electrickery it was new and killed people so no to in bathrooms. Rest of world, much later so bathrooms OK. With modern breakers it's pretty safe. They (Aussies) even have sockets outside in the rain!!!!

We have sockets outside, not an issue - but sockets in bathrooms a big no no!.
How many people in American TV programmes get murdered by hairdryers in the bath?, doesn't happen in TV programmes over here
