Are plural & singular versions of keywords considered repeats ?

Hi
Are plural and singular versions of keywords if used in same page element such as a title tag considered as a keyword repeat ?
How naughty are keyword repeats in title tags ? I personally think that so long as the page content justifies their existence in title then should be fine.
I ask because i hear talk that one should avoid kw repeats in title tags, but surely in cases like the below example its ok ?
If i were to give this page: www.leisurecentres.com/uk-leisure-centre-guide
This title tag: UK Leisure Centre Guide | Leisure Centres
Surely thats ok ?
Cheers
Dan

Thanks for your prompt reply Irving
Ah so in case of two word kw phrases with plural and singular versions the issue is not the plural/singular versions but the repeat of the othe word in the phrase ?
So would you recommend the title along the lines of: 'UK Centre Guide | Leisure Centres' ? & renaming url to: www.leisurecentres.com/uk-centre-guide
And u think using kw twice in url is overusing it ? surely if content is on page use is justified ?
This does make sense although the consequences of implementation would result in pages targeting these keywords not achieving many of the ticks (and high grade) on seomoz page/kw analyser wouldnt it ?

Singular and plural are different keywords.
I would avoid repeating "leisure" twice in your title tag because you already are using it twice in your URL and my guess is you may be also overusing it in your navigation, content and other on page places. Less is more, better to not over optimizes for today's Google. Once is enough, they get it.

Does the position of your main keyword phrase matter within the page?
The addition of a new grid type navigation within the body of our page could mean that the keyword phrase the page is optimized for could be pushed below the fold. Is this a bad thing?

Use of '&' in meta title
Hi, I know that use of '&' would be helpful to save space and also add more keyword variation to the title tag. But just want to make sure if it matters if I use '&' in most of my title tags? And also is it common to use more than & in one title? Would the following title be different in Google's perspective regardless of the title length? I am thinking they are all targeting the keywords 'fruit cake' and 'fruit bread', but the first one is the best. buy fruit cake & bread buy fruit cake & fruit bread buy fruit cake and fruit bread Thanks in advance.

Keyword Appearing on Home Page - Moz Page Grader
Hi Today I entered www.partydomain.co.uk through the Moz Page Grader and found that the Home Page is Ranked B. I noticed that an Area we could improve on is the amount of times we are using our main keyword "Fancy Dress" on the home page. Please can you take a look at www.partydomain.co.uk and scroll to the bottom of the page were the tabs are containing losts of content. I am thinking about removing all of thoose Tabs. Our Competitors dont have any content as such on the home page and are ranking higher than Party Domain for "fancy dress" What do you think ? remove all the tabs to be like the others that rank better? Or cut the text right down ? Thanks Adam
