Reddog9 and Touchwood

Thanks for your answers.  Interestingly both solutions do what I asked but they give different results.

Reddog9 your solution gave me the result I wanted as this "Scaled" each face at its origin point.

Touchwood your solution resulted in a "Shrink/Fatten" of the selected faces.

Looking at the results it appears that the Alt+S performs some form of non-uniform scale in this particular instance.

I'd be interested if someone can give a clearer explanation as to what the difference between the two actually is.
