Tom & Lauren Are Going OOT

Available for over a year

It's the day of Great Nana Doreen's funeral - her dying wish was for Tom to be a pallbearer, which Tom thinks is unfeasible because Lauren's family are all freakishly tall. Lauren has written a eulogy which upsets her cousin Becca, who decides to use Chat GPT to craft her own tribute to Great Nana Doreen, while Tom tries to make the perfect Wallsend Woo-Woo. Neil pops over with a condolences gift and then Lauren and Becca argue about who was Great Nana Doreen's "most special girl".
