There must be an easier way to handle this. Why not have a tinyurl.com like permalink code automatically generated for every article? Then it would just be a matter of pointing your browser to telegraph.co.uk/uniqueid or something similar!

Computing magazine does something a bit as you describe it. But I suspect the Telegraph's editiorial system doesn't have the functionality you describe. I know that if I wanted to add permalinks for every story on my magazine's system, it would take a few minutes per story so Shane's estimate seems about right to me.
