Tale of woe (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sob story

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">tale of woe</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for sob story that I've seen before include "Tale of misfortune" , "Account intended to evoke sympathy" , "Sentimental tale designed to arouse sympathy" , "tale of woe" , "Plea for sympathy from Tory boss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
