    Yes, I seem to remember a similar study in Oxfordshire with those sort of results (based on blood samples or dna tests or something rather than what people said). I cant find the details off hand though. But the answer is that *if* there is something, then you are not alone by any means.

      Do not let the past lay a burden on you that will be difficult to carry into your future

        Learn but do not dwell

          As a diver, do you price jobs as depth * time * hourly rate? Or is it more complicated than that?

            Daily rate + Transport + Consumables/Expenses + Difficulty/Danger + or - how much I want the job
