Can't see them throwing you behind bars for that. Even more so because of the current crisis which the prison system is having due to over crowding.
Prepare your self for a fine i'd day.

Knowing this country, if the windows is worth a few hundred quid, you'll have to pay a tenner.

Well that is their fault for not having insurance, not yours.
You were stupid to fall through, but we all doing silly things when rat assed. Sat it doesn't condone your behaviour, but it wasn't intentional and was a simple trip, and your still confused how the entire window fell through...

Happened to me and my brother when drunk, we went through Building society front door...Ended up inside, you think it would have been tuffened glass
ANyway we just walked away and police caught up with us as we were both dripping with blood, i had cuts on arms and bro have cut 1/2" away from his heart
Took us to station for statements then sent to hospital but we got off with it as Building society did not press charges or even make us pay for damage...
I was lying like a fucker to the police too about getting jumped and thrown through the door when my bro was in next room telling the truth
I think you will just get a fine and pay for damage..
