Solved [1.4.9] google base feed error

I have a 1.4.9 store with multi stores enabled.

I have enabled the google feed and set up my google base account. The google feed is being uploaded and parsed.

I have about 500 items on my store but google only processes 44 and then only imports 43.

When I look at the error report in google it tells me
XML formatting error - Error
Our system encountered an error when processing your data feed. Learn more.
Examples:
Line No. Column No.
1,678 276
when I download the feed and open it in notepad++ that location shows me

</td>

I have been through the site and am removing special characters such as curly quotes etc. I have made sure that the images are all jpg, png or tiff.

Anyone care to give me any hints as to what else I should be looking at?
