I was stuck on that one too! All I could come up with was pie fatherlike which doesn't make sense! As usual, Lie in King came up with the goods (on your thread rennie57).
By the way Lie In King, I forgot to thank you a few months ago when you solved my last clue. I didn't post a question because most of the time, a search in the search box reveals the answer. I won a Cross ball point pen so at least the ink is yours! I'll probably give the pen to my son when he is old enough not to lose it. He's 13 now so maybe in another 20 years!
By the way LIK, do you ever send in your personal solutions to the papers and have you ever won anything?
Welcome rennie57!
