Lisa is the Dingle matriarch: She looks after everyone. They would really struggle without her and she keeps them in line! She's a really good mum, but she will get involved in the odd Dingle scam if it's against the right person, although she doesn’t really approve. She's rough and ready and expects you to take her as you find her.
