Anyone see this played near them?
Round our way, you'd see groups of lads get a big empty glass bottle and stand in a rough circle on a car-park. Or somewhere with a concrete floor. Then they'd toss the bottle into the air for another to catch. At first, it wasn't thrown too high, but it wouldn't be long before some idiot suddenly cackled with glee and lobbed it high up into the sky.
Of course, you either caught the bottle, or ran aside from it, at which point it would smash all over the show and that would be that. The danger was standing your ground to catch it, then missing it!
I always tried to avoid playing this, as I was painfully aware of all the resulting broken glass. I'd quickly try and divert my mates if anyone suggested playing it.
Stupid 'game'.
