   <description><![CDATA[A friend of mine went to Peacocks to spend her £80 worth of Xmas and Birthday vouchers. She selected all the items required and went to cash desk. The girl rang them all up and then told her how much it came to. My friend presented her wouchers only to be told they could not accept them. The manager came and told her the reason was this administraton trouble. My friend was told to go on line and ring a telephone number which was given there. On trying this and two different numbers later&nbsp;&nbsp;found out it could only be done in office hours. So Monday is going to be a busy day for her on the 'phone.&nbsp;&nbsp;The way we see it Peacocks have already had the money for these vouchers and don't really think they will send back a cheque for £80.<br /><br />Has anyone else had a problem trying to spend their vouchers ?????????]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[Crime is down in our area by a whopping 14% says the police. <br /><br />I notice another local news forum is reporting on the Thames Valley statistics, but perhaps the West Berkshire ones are more relevant. <br /><br />It's all looking good, other than shoplifting (up 3.4%)...and they manage to solve a whopping 22% of crime these days. <br /><br />But still some worrying signs, like a rape in West Berks reported every two weeks. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/performance-pdfs-west-berkshire.pdf">http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/performance-pdfs-west-berkshire.pdf</a><br /><br />Do forumistas think this is a fairly accurate picture then? ]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[KartForce is a non-profit organisation that has designed hand controls that allow injured troops to drive karts with one or two hands.&nbsp;&nbsp;This allows troops with injuries such as double and triple amputation to race against non-injured drivers – on a totally level playing field.<br /><br />We organise regular karting events, from casual meets mostly for first-timers to try out karting with hand controls to team races.&nbsp;&nbsp;We’re raising funds to buy 2 racing karts, trailer and all the gear needed to enter mainstream competition karting.<br /><br />Information, photos and videos can be found on our website, Facebook and Twitter.<br /><br />I live in Newbury and run KartForce from home.&nbsp;&nbsp;When we hold events I need someone to assist with preparations and man a stand that sells our merchandise – t-shirts, patches, stickers, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is also the opportunity to do freelance fundraising during these events, as well as any other events that may generate donations – even run a team of fundraisers.&nbsp;&nbsp;There will also be other occasional work, such as post office runs and other odd jobs in the area.<br /><br />If you’re interested, please email me on <a href="mailto:dave@kartforce.org">dave@kartforce.org</a><br /><br />Regards<br />Dave<br /><br />Web&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.KartForce.org">http://www.KartForce.org</a><br />Facebook&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/KartForce">http://www.facebook.com/KartForce</a><br />Twitter&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;@KartForce<br /><br />Please “Like” our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter so you can be kept informed of our progress.<br />]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[Here's a conundrum. <br /><br />WBC hired Parkwood Leisure to run Northcroft Leisure Centre, and hygiene standards in the cafe have just been rated &quot;very bad&quot; by WBC. Not only that, but WBC have little confidence that the situation should improve.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/business/northcroft-leisure-centre-newbury-165771.html">http://www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/business/northcroft-leisure-centre-newbury-165771.html</a><br /><br />What should our council do? <br /><br /><br />]]></description>
