I suspect it's on about use of the lower case letter "i" and some missing full stops. Korn is big on punctuation and grammar (or at least on avoiding "txt spk" and programmed the karma-bot to reflect this.

It may also have been your use of the word "crap" or the apostrophe abuse on "Bus's" (buses).

Don't worry about it too much. It's only if you start posting lots of short snaps of nonsense or get a lot of negative ratings that it makes any real difference.

Mine is exactly 50 miles a day and i'm going to have to do it what ever the weather as we have got rid of the second car.

Train is no where near work and bus's are crap around telford it would probably take me double my normal journey time which is currently about 50mins each way (25miles).

If it was so bad that i couldn't take the bike, me taking the car means the missus would have to walk to work and i'm not that cruel so its going to have to get pretty bad before i give in.

Saying that i've never ridden thought the winter before and don't know how bad it can get.

So far through the towns is OK its when im out into the sticks (B4176 from swindon to telford) at speed i'm starting to feel a bit cold, my current setup which is:

Work shirt, tie and trousers.
Textile trousers and jacket (both lined).
Cheap winter gloves.

Next i will probably add a long sleeve jumper over my work shirt and i'm thinking about getting some new gloves possible the ones mentioned in the cheap winter gloves thread.
