Still there at 1200, so no-one from that end of the road had thought to do anything about it, despite being on one of the routes to Stamford Green School, that is to say plenty of small children passing. So I thought it proper to march down the road with bowl, dustpan and brush and clear it up. Now smashed, wrapped, bagged and in our black dustbin.
Not sufficiently motivated to cycle down to the tip and put it in the glass recycling bin - which might, in any event, have been difficult now that pedestrians are banned from the tip.
Never heard of the stuff myself - Sagatiba Pura - which from reference 1 seems to be some kind of speciality rum, possibly mainly intended for use in cocktails. More precisely '... cachaça with unparalleled flavour and an aroma of freshly cut sugarcane ...'. But is it really the sort of thing I would to swig on the way home? Did it come from the Brazilian quarter in Pound Lane?
PS: later: BH points out that the bottle may have been dropped by the dustmen in the course of emptying the bottle baskets, rather than by some drunken youth. Which may well be true, but that does not absolve the road from clearing up the mess. 'Someone [else] should do something about it' does not meet the case.
Reference 1: http://sagatiba.com/. A rather colourful website, in Portuguese and including some entertaining videos.
