Looking at the code, it has:

self.decode = ["Windows-1252",
"utf8"]
From a quick look, most of the adapters have them in the same order. The base adapter is the other way around. As the page reports UTF-8, either the order in the adapter should be changed, or it should be removed as there is no real need to override the parent class. |
It's saddeningly common for sites to report one encoding while using the other more commonly. Or to use both on different stories.
I don't read storiesonline.net. If someone who does tells me that utf8 is correct more often than Windows-1252, I'm willing to change it.

At the moment, I don't have a full time connection.

I don't have the energy to look at this right now either. Maybe tomorrow.
