Spot the difference?

Article Abstract:

Up to 800 million pounds sterling worth of investment is to be allocated by newly formed Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) in the UK during 1999. Eight RDAs have responsibility for regional development of the UK, with a 12 member board in overall charge of projects. Decisions regarding planning will not be a power given to RDAs although they will be able to make suggestions which planners may act upon. Funding for projects will come directly from RDA's budgets which should enable contractors to work on schemes without fear of financial hardship.

Colour supplement

Article Abstract:

Nylon has achieved a strong place in the door furniture market. Nylon's ability to withstand hard use and to be produced in a multitude of colours has convinced specifyers that it has a place in high quality work as well as its initial application to washrooms, factories and schools. The market leader has been Hewi which introduced the product to Britain in 1982. Normbau and Thomas Laidlaw are also competing with products which are basically similar. New developments in nylon door furniture are concerned with textured finishes and new shapes.
