A rather posh, old-fashioned way of expressing someone's unhappiness. The closest equivalents would be CROSS or MAD.
From the Derek & Clive album "Ad Nauseam" (1978) :
CLIVE:
Oh, gosh! 'Oh! I'm done for!' I thought: 'Crumbs! If I go to Sir's study he'll get jolly BATEY and probably do all sorts of things'. And when we got in there he said, "I'm jolly cross with you .....for looking at, at Wiggins playing with his willy!"

Batey, meaning obvious trick or prank, the person that falls for a 'batey' is gullable or niave, in my personal experience they are usually fat or spotty.

meaning both kinky and slightly dirty, the first use of this word I encountered was in the "Tank Girl 2" graphic novel.
"- Oh Booga you dumb shit, can't you feel that immense rush of sexual healing?..
- Oooh?! Yes that is rather batey! Oooooh? AAH!..."
- Oooh?! Yes that is rather batey! Oooooh? AAH!..."
