		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for taking the time to read this short post. I&#8217;m in the process of researching a new book about how you spot a bonkers partner and I could really use your help.

		<title>Get with the program(me)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my current projects is to rewrite the website of one of the region’s biggest motor companies.  This morning, I was looking at their ‘About Us’ pages when I happened upon some information about their 'Customer Care Program'.  It got me thinking.  Is it a Customer Care Program in the UK?  Or a Customer Care Programme? <a href="http://nickparkhouse.com/blog/get-with-the-programme/">[...]</a>]]></description>

		<title>While-ing away the hours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whilst 'whilst' may be a great word, 'while' may be a better choice when writing excellent copy.  Is there any difference between the words 'while' and 'whilst'? When should you use one and not the other? And how do you use the terms? <a href="http://nickparkhouse.com/blog/while-ing-away-the-hours/">[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are thousands of break-up songs in the pop music canon.  And, we’ve all listened to them in the past when we needed to get over unrequited or lost love.

Here are my top 5 divorce songs. <a href="http://nickparkhouse.com/writing/the-top-5-divorce-songs/">[...]</a>]]></description>
