Spoilers for Monday 17th May 2021

Thought Neil had a few more wins in him, and was a bit unlucky with his guesses on his letters (i.e. Crosshead and Crudite). Nonetheless, I thought Cindy played well, and should have the potential to win a few....

To me, the usual expression is "with a pinch of salt" rather than "with a grain of salt". Though I recall once coming across "with a huge grain of salt" - surely it would need to be more than a grain! (I've only just discovered the expression actually refers to the old unit of weight called a grain, rather than a single speck of salt - but surely the unit of weight comes in only one size?)

But I suppose that, if something is extremely dubious, you could just as well take it with an even bigger quantity of salt.
