I fancied some salad for tea so went into the greengrocers to buy all the stuff you have with it. There was a small queue there and shortly after that, I turned round and it was only Liam Herringshaw, who has currently put a run of wins together on Countdown.
Well it got to my turn and the assistant ignored me and went straight to Liam.
I said, "Oi! I was before him..."
But the assistant said, "Sorry, he's the current Countdown champion so he gets first pick of the lettuce.."

I think it's a reference to the NODE (the dictionary used on the show from 2000-2003) but in addition to being out of date, it doesn't work at all as a joke, as NODE would be pronounced "noddy", not "node".

I know Richard Whiteley always pronounced it "noddy" but I don't think he's the ultimate arbiter. I've always pronounced it "node".
