This may have been asked before, I'm just too lazy to look back, but how do you post on a mobile phone.
When I go to log on, it continually tells me I've put in the wrong username.

Baths used for bathing, not storing coal.
Actually, baths.

Any help much appreciated.

The RIBA stage numbers are much the same as the old design stages that had letters - the consultants will tell you that they've developed it to stage 4 (technical design), but the reality is they rarely even achieve stage 3 (spatial co-ordination), and have mostly only given you a stage 2 (concept design).

Quite a shift from how I have worked in the past, mostly I've done small jobs where none of this was important or even mentioned.
Where I am now everything is RIBA stage, blah, blah, blah...
I am slowly getting to grips with it (with the links east Sussex gave - plenty of homework involved), but often I'll just keep my hand close to my chest, nod and not let on that I have no idea what 4a, 4b, etc. is..

Re: Things you've always wanted to know......
Stage 4a is the consultant's design, stage 4b is the contractors design (so how they're going to build it). So basically approval drawings. Stage 5a/b is the detail i.e construction drawings.
We use stage 4b to change aspects of the deisgn to suit buildability, ie. we're going to build these bits off site as a module and bring it in whole, therefore we need to amend certain things to suit.
We're trying to get into jobs at stage 2 now so that the spatial coordination can work around how we want to build. Consultants generally don't have a ****ing clue how to build anything, and barely know the technical side of how to make things work tbh.

That is the most straightforward explanation that I have yet seen, you have made it seem less like a dark art and more like a straightforward process. Cheers.
Ain't that the bloody truth.

My post from the greatest Englishman thread...
Why did James Cook (explorer) live in the east end (according to Wikipedia)? Surely it would have been slums back then. Would he have not been pretty affluent? Was Cook the original hipster?

As the article says, his son was baptised in Shadwell, at a church with significant naval heritage. I've been in that church as it happens and the grounds are open to public visit, so the graveyard is accessible.We_are_BML wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 3:14 pm My post from the greatest Englishman thread...

He joined the navy in Wapping and that area close to the dockyards would have had residences surely for people who came from all social classes.

I’m in London. Where might a gentleman get his hair cut in the West End tomorrow at a nice price? I think the chain I often used was called Mr Toppers. Is that still a thing?

Re: Things you've always wanted to know......
was just looking at the NUMB thread and the BBC one, some of the link have quotes with - (sic) at the end.
What does (sic) mean?
TIA.
