Relatives - yech. Darn nuisances. One said recently that she was moving, "it'll be nearer to you". I suppose I should have said something that sounded a bit more enthusiastic than "oh yeh?

Hey Wilmslow, surely the cctv tapes will prove your innocence...
Either that or they'll make you a few quid on certain specialist websites...

Maybe the niece could have told her dad the truth about what happened?Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostHad a very bitter dark side to my nice break in Florida.
On the last evening we had a pool bbq at the villa we were renting and had a few of the wedding people over, so pretty much immediate family with distance family. All nice decent people.
My niece pushed back on a plastic chair that her parents knew she was sat on, and fell backwards hitting her head on the floor. A complete accident, I just happened to be by her at the time. I did the correct first aid etc, but the father was totally freaking out shouting and blaming me. I accepted this as part of the shock, so emailed a couple of days later to make peace.
Got a completely angry blaming email back, which he cc’d to my mother, who has now emailed it over to the rest of the family, so everyone now can see how crazily angry he is, so that has somewhat backfired. (They live in Bermuda otherwise I would go over for a chat if more local).
I can see why he may think why I am to blame, but not willing to let him bully me into a false apology.
Niece made a good recovery – I got ice on her head straight away, and a family member is an A&E doctor who said she was totally fine, but because the father was yelling and freaking out, this made my niece freak out as well, resulting in a pointless trip to the Florida casualty unit who sent them straight back home.
They are moving to UK (Well, Dublin) around September time, so plenty of time to consider an appropriate plan of attack, and also niece's birthday in August so a good opportunity to keep in touch then.
Any ideas?

And that your Honour is how my client ended up with his penis embedded in a 12 year-old girl.
Still, it was in Florida and they were related.

I find this difficult to believe. Wilmslow and a prone child knocked unconcious and then administering first aid?? Was your penis the magic antidote?

The rest of your story is a complete fabrication.
You're a tedious twat.
Do you need any more ideas? I've got tuliploads of 'em.
