Alistair shows his support and Lynda makes a stand.

Alistair voices his concerns to Shula about Jim attending Harold鈥檚 funeral. Shula tells modest Alistair how proud she is of the way he鈥檚 dealt with Jim鈥檚 situation. He should take the compliment!
Lynda鈥檚 been walking with a limp. She explains to Jim that she acquired her injuries from the team building day. Lilian arrives at the village shop with a poster for the pub鈥檚 鈥楤urns Bop鈥�. She explains that the celebrations will last all weekend, which Jim thinks rather misses the point. Lynda notices that the poster refers to the pub as 鈥楾he B at Ambridge鈥�. Lynda believes the name change is undemocratic, which is why she鈥檚 started a petition. It鈥檚 time to make a stand for tradition. Lilian scoffs at the petition, but Lynda insists everyone she鈥檚 asked so far has signed it. The argument gets heated and strong words are exchanged.
On returning home from work, Alistair discovers Jim researching Bed and Breakfasts to stay in after Harold鈥檚 funeral. Alistair asks him to look for somewhere that will sleep three people. He and Jazzer don鈥檛 want Jim to have to face Harold alone, so they鈥檇 like to come with him. Jim is taken aback but he would appreciate their company. It means a lot to him.
