Interesting that this empty bottle of Buckfast, or Buckie, a drink that also here in Scotland is popularly perceived as being drunk by particularly underaged down and outs who are prone to committing anti-social behaviour (neds) or alcoholics, lies on a memorial bench. This image bears the interesting connotation that to a perhaps homeless alcoholic or a ned a bench is just a bench. Memorial bench, which could be said to have some sacredness attached to it (although this is subject to argument), or not.
