Update:
Well, there seems to be some movement on the locker situation. The lady from Facilities bumped into me in the canteen and told me that they had "found" some lockers and were looking for somewhere to put them.
unfortunately, she only seemed to be talking about lockers for this office and not the one down the road. i didn't want to give too much away to her, in case it was just as result from me moaning, or whether it was from an instruction from "above", so i rushed upstairs and emailed the two other cyclists that know about it, and we've agreed that i should get in touch with the CE on Monday and see if he's done anything yet and if he has, who he spoke to.
