She's in your face and I realise some people in real life are like that but you soon get bored with them. Likewise Gloria. Same applies to Tracy, and Becky (at the end).

I love her with St Ella too. It makes St Ella better with a Mum to show that she is not without fault. Perhaps it's just a british humour that people don't get or maybe she just divides people like brown sauce.
