Haha, you'd think, but then that's seriously underestimating the long arm of the Health and Safety officer here in the UK. It's insane. For the same reason a lot of bathrooms only have a string-pull light-switch (because you can touch it safely with wet hands, being separate from the electric source by a good foot or so), instead of a conventional flick switch. And you won't find anything other than a 'safe' shaving plug/toothbrush plug in a bathroom either, which is a special shape so you can't plug any other electrical item into it. And just to top it off, your electric cord for your beard trimmer or toothbrush can only be so long, to discourage people from using non-specialized waterproof equipment in the bath.
Daft innit?
