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!

--- 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!]

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.

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!

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

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.
