A Glorious morning to ride into London - good start to the day.
Clean towel for shower - great
Nice long soak in shower - refreshingly good
Remembered clean underwear - can the day get better
Put on crisply pressed shirt recently retrieved from dry cleaners - looking good
Put on trousers.....wait, hang on, they're not on the hook. Remembering they are on chair in office 4 floors up. Having to put back on lycra to go retrieve trousers
Thought for the day - not mentionable in polite circles - but at least I had suit trousers in the building. apparently lycra is not the office attire for a solicitor

I hope you've got more showers in your office than in ours then... we've got 3 for the whole building and it drives me mental when people think they're in the shower at home :evil:

There is a bloke who listens to radio 4 in the shower room on my floor and it winds me up no end. Whilst I wait outside I know he'd be quicker if he wasn't listening the radio and was concentrating on getting ready.
He also fumigates the whole place with deodorant; it's worse for my lungs than cycling though London to get there.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX

Don't have the radio thing but there are only two showers here - one on the ground and one on 2nd. Unfortunately, some folk on 1st use the one on second (as it is a bit bigger) so effectively one shower is shared between 3 floors and one shower between 1! So when people dither around for 15 minutes (and then fumigate) forgetting that they are actually at work, it is a bit annoying! I'm usually in and out in about 7 minutes.Faster than a tent.......0 -
7 minutes???? :shock:
Are you stood outside naked or something?
It takes me about 20 mins worth of faffing to get undressed, showered, toweled, deodoured, and dressed againChunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

20 minutes? Faffing is the key word there. Are you having a shave and doing your hair as well?1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Nope but it's an idea
20 minutes Kieran :shock: - OK, admit it - you are a girl :P
I reckon I spend about a minute actually in the shower and the rest is just the changing clothes bit. I'd be pretty peed off if someone occupied the shower for 20 minutes!Faster than a tent.......0 -
Hey, there's a lot to wash.... 8)
Besides - it's a full shower gel / shampoo thing going on, and you can't leave the shower on as it floods the damn' room (I kid you not).
Drying, bit of talc, yada yada dressing... 7 minutes? I can't see how that's possibleChunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

Only one shower in our place - MY SHOWER
Its got loads of my clothing toiletries etc in it.
no one else uses the shower room and I think most people do not know it exists. Its great to hide away on a morning with the paper and a cuppa before my showerWant to know the Spen666 behind the posts?

however, its rare that I'm not skiving in thereWant to know the Spen666 behind the posts?

The showers in my office are used by 4 of us (not at the same time thankfully) and we all start work at different times so theres no rush.
Probably only take 10mins in there to be honest.
One of the other guys uses a shower gel called "man fever" and I do find that a bit disturbing....0
