It's slippery outside people!

also, am i alone in finding the title of this thread annoying? it's the "people" bit. it started with the "bells people, use them" thread and now this one. i resisted mentioning it before but it really annoys me. something about the "people" bit makes it sound like the author is trying to sound american and sort of sergent majorly/fatherly. as if we're all his people. as in "okay people, take care out there. by the left quiiiick march!" etc. i dunno. it just irritates me. sorry ved.

methinks it's just the way you read it, you read it in a very annoying sergent/majorly/fatherly tones, whether I read it as a friendly* 'hey mate, be careful out there, I almost came a cropper today*' tones, it easy to read it differently online.
