Well. I was surprised to hear on the news bulletin the other day that Carol was to quit Countdown… but now, thanks to thoroughlygood, I’ve been pointed at the reason why, and I’m a little conflicted.

£900,000 is an awful lot of money for the job she does, and £90,000 is hardly a salary to be sniffed at. However, I can see that having got to the former, she’d be reluctant to switch to the latter.
