Big news from the Sunday Tele: Train runs out of fish, out-of-towners mildy inconvenienced

Good to know that even during those normally slow news days of Easter, Sydney’s Sunday Telegraph was able to go on breaking the big news.

Take the intro to this dramatic tale: “The Melbourne-to-Sydney train ran out of fish on Good Friday.”  

For those readers not overcome with shock at this news, which appears to have originated from an AAP colour piece, the breathless reportage continues in the second para: “Central Victorian couple Barry and Margaret Parson has to wait until Easter Saturday for an omega-3 hit, at the Sydney Fish market.”

At which point the newspaper’s readers will no doubt have been breathing a sigh of relief that it wasn’t a story involving anybody who was actually from the newspaper’s home city who had to undergo the indignity and horror.
