Other current ‘meltdown’ news items include:
- the hunt for Madeleine McCann (The Sun),
- the US subprime collapse (Daily Telegraph),
- Amy Winehouse (Showbizspy.com),
- Royal Mail deliveries in Coventry (icCoventry.co.uk), and
- Northern Rock (FTAdviser).
Please can lazy sub-editors borrow a thesaurus, and try out a new cliché?

To be fair, when it comes to describing the demise of wicked witches from the east, it's probably quite an apt metaphor. In this age of 24 hour news, I'm sure one will come along any minute.

I'm not sure it's just lazy sub-editors, Stephen...
Great. Having previously not noticed this trend, I'm now going to be seeing it everywhere. Thanks a lot.

Let us be honest, the Entire country is going to meltdown. But then, that is the intention I fear.
