Wife and daughter's holiday not going to plan!
Quick update as of yesterday.
It appears not to be as serious as first thought. Cracked skull and localised bleeding, but no brain injury. The holiday may not be totally ruined after all.
Lucky boy by the sound of it, especially considering what a stupid thing he did; balancing a step ladder right against the edge of the top step of a spiral staircase. It obviously moved slightly, tipped one leg over the step and the lot gave way.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Good to hear about that, and are you sure it is not John’s twin?

My BIL has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer, so I wouldn't associate John with him. That would be an insult!

That's good glad he's alright.

Yes indeed. I think the word f*ckwit sums him up nicely.

Fingers crossed for all concerned.
