Not what *you* think I mean. > As I said and will state again > Actually Doddy, they've been rising in all but the trades that are > disappearing overseas or those where a better path is though a degree > course. > > But of course you're ecome to you uninformed and unsupported opinion.

When I looked at your post and read this "Things have picked up a *little* in the last 5 years " I understood that the sentence STATED That things were picking up...even if only a little.
