		<description><![CDATA[A couple of news items on National Radio caught my attention this morning.  The first one related to Kiwi Rail&#8217;s intention to buy more rolling stock from China instead of having the waggons built from scratch in its own workshops in Lower Hutt and Dunedin .  The second item concerned the intended sale of TVNZ&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, there was a banana company.  After a chequered career using different names, the banana company settled on  a new name, which it has stuck with now for many decades.  That name is Chiquita. For many years Chiquita then focused on its banana business and eventually they thought, “wouldn’t it be nice [...]]]></description>
