What makes a bathroom a bathroom?

I had (already when I moved in) sockets only a foot or so from the sink. Very handy to fill the kettle without having to unplug it.
Which is important because.... electricity can't go through jeans?

Since everyone has those poofy circuit breakers, does it really matter if you have electricity in the bathroom?
Is it to do with several women at once?
Difficult to take a bath in a sink, unless you're 2.
Hang on.... if I install a water bed, must I move the electrical points?

Blame the US. They talk about bathrooms when they actually mean a toilet.
I'm no expert but AFAICS the perceived function of the space is of no relevance. Electricity doesn't care what you call the room.
This is true. Weird, but true.
It must contain a bath or shower. Cloakrooms / rooms containing loos / basins etc are not included in the definitions.
This is not really true.

Correct. Its far less able to pass through clothes and *dry* skin.
You were correct.
You have now been erroneously corrected!
I see... thanks, and I hope no-one was misled by my wrong answer.
So presumably what you and I might regard as a truly *enormous* bedroom, with a shower cubicle tucked away somewhere in a corner, is classified for regulatory purposes as a "bathroom"?
