Yep changing the config.php file to iso-8859-1 works

Hi mally,
This is a character encoding issue.
On the page in your message, I am able to make the pound symbol display correctly by setting the page character encoding (using the browser menu) to ISO-8859-1.
However, your site is indicating UTF-8, which is presumably what is set in your config.php in the $config_charset variable. The first thing to do is check this.
Now, it might be that all of your feeds are ISO-8859-1, in which case you want to change the value of $config_charset to iso-8859-1, which will fix the pound sign problem. However, if is also possible that most of your feeds are utf-8, in which case you would need to leave your character set configuration as it is, and try using the "UTF8 Encode" filter on the description field for that feed.
I would just try changing the whole site to iso-8859-1 in the first instance and check that everything looks OK...
Cheers,
David.
