Slow news day stories.
 

I havent had a chance to see what the South East news stories are today but theres always one story thats there as filler when there isnt any real news to report.

The South East reporters actually look pleased when something has happened so they have something to talk about!

Whats your slow news story in your region today?

Will post mine when I see the news!

"Compost toilets to be installed in fields across region" I mean, really? This was headline news on the website, over and above the badger cull protests!

'Anglesey commuters delayed by road accident.'

Not even on a main road...

Swan rescued from motorway.

'Hold on tight, were going on a trip round the best roundabout in Britain.' Srsly!

Flintshire Council issue £2000 in dog mess fines in one week. :notsure:

--- Council will be first in London to broadcast live web streams of key meetings.

Really?
As if work meetings weren't enough already!

Oh, and a brothel has been closed.
And a local NHS building site was shown to the public. [I see it out of my kitchen window all the time!]

Hum I don't know what slow news story there is around me but I'm sure there is something!!

Also, headline about how the panda still might be pregnant. Which would be fine if there was anything new AT ALL in the story, but nope, nothing.

BUT ITS PANDAAAAS :3

It is a cute panda! But still, not news!

Local family found smuggling loft insulation from china plead insanity, case adjourned .

'Heather's pumpkin puts stop to gent's 49 year winning streak at annual show'

^ Front page news btw!

THE CLOCKS ARE CHANGING! Do they not realise it happens twice a year?

A local village Co-op is closing, made front page here.

Had to bump this for the shocking front page news in my local paper!

On our local news the other night there was a story about a man rowing to the Isle of Wight in a giant pumpkin. Even the newsreaders thought it was ridiculous!

I was watching it at the gym proper got the giggles, and everyone looked at me like I was an idiot!

Cyclist hurt after riding into stationary car.

Not exactly edge of your seat news, and this is apparently a top story.

It was headline news a few weeks ago:

Ladder Stolen: Police Appeal for Information

A guy saw a spider in his house, which probably wasn't a false widow, but might have been, and could have bitten him, but didn't!

The actual story was that a spider ran across the floor, he squished it, and then rang the council. Experts say that the spider bears no resemblance to the false widow, but it was too squished to say for sure.

Somehow, this was newsworthy.
