I know the point here is that she passed the fish pie off as her own, but I honestly find the use of “cheeky ‘lil” a far more egregious crime. Why is it cheeky? It’s a bleeping fish pie, I hate the use of cheeky before any food or drink item, but at least when people use it with junk food or alcohol it has a context. This is a fish pie, for her son’s tea, it’s a perfectly normal thing people cook and eat every day, it is not, in any way, cheeky. It’s also not “lil”, or even particularly little.

And BTW, any chance we could spoilerfisting ? The word makes me cross my legs so fast it scares the dog.
