1 hour ago How do I know my life has gone wrong? Because I spend all my time at the tip | Zoe Williams

I am there so often that the man who runs the recyclables aisle knows my name – and he is seriously unimpressed with my offeringsYou know a lot of things have gone wrong for you when the guy at the municipal dump knows your name.
