Do office workers not charge their mobile phone/personal laptops/tablets at work?
I've never worked in an office.

I ride 18 miles in my work clothes and I count myself lucky to be able to rub myself down with a handful of fine gravel from the lake shore.

Yeah, I get dirtier at work than I could get cycling in, if I rode 20 miles. I guess these office bods are bit more sensitive, eh?
I would literally hate having to work for a company like that.
I don't think I will be staying long - was always intended to be a stop gap and nothing seen or done so far is changing the likelihood of that being the case.
I finally moved to an office that has shower facilities 12 months ago and so whenever I don't need to drive out to see clients during the day I cycle to work, which is a joy.
However, we've just been advised that another part of the company is moving into our offices, but to create sufficient space for them they’re doing away with the 2 showers, and so me and my fellow bikers (there's about 6 of us) will have to do without. Most of us have minimum 12 mile journeys each way and so the office will be less than fragrant if we continue cycling, and so most of us will have to abandon this.
However we’ve now been told that because of the increased numbers of workers in the building, a number of people that currently have car park spaces will have to surrender these. In response to a number of complaints about the absence of free parking locally and exorbitant car parking charges, they suggested that these people could instead make use of the companies Cycle 2 work scheme (just at the point when they’re getting rid of the showers).
WTF? With that sort of joined up thinking from our management I’m anticipating that the rest of the planned building works will be an outstanding success!

How about one of these as a practical solution, I mean the dryer, not the fluffy animal, it would get around the problem, although it doesn't alter the fact that you have a few nobbers working with you.

I think the answer is simple. Take the company car, leave it at work, get a 12v hairdryer and use it in the car. When the car battery gets flat just call the RAC out.
