An American mum living in the UK shared her astonishment at the layout of a British bathroom.

Jessica Wilkinson, a mother of three, relocated from Utah to England in August with her family and has been sharing social media videos of their journey online. In one of her videos, she described their first few days in England as both "incredible and exhausting".

She said: "We're trying to set everything up (so much harder than expected!!) while taking breaks to adventure." However, the ex-pat was particularly irked by the lack of plug sockets in British bathrooms.

She exclaimed: "There are no mirrors or outlets in our bathroom. So I can't plug in a blow dryer or a straightener, que extension cords!"

This odd British trait sparked a flurry of comments on TikTok, with users cautioning Jessica about the dangers of using electricals in the bathroom, reports the Mirror.

One user warned: "Please don't get an extension for the bathroom... we have much higher voltage electricity here... just dry your hair in your bedroom mirror."

Another questioned: "I can't get over why so many Americans struggle with us not mixing water and electric". Jessica responded: "It's because we've gone our entire lives plugging things in in our bathroom and never ONCE have we gotten it wet."

She also highlighted the catch-22 situation of trying to get a bank account in the UK without a UK phone number.

She explained her predicament of being unable to get a bank account without a phone number, but also not being able to get a phone number without a UK bank account. The mum also shared her surprise at how parents in the UK register their children for school.

She advised: "Whatever you do, don't try to register your kids through the school, you have to go through the city and be prepared to wait a long time for your placement." Jessica found this process "much harder than expected" and learned it's usually better to apply for schools before the January deadline.
