The leaves on the road muffle the sound of our car. One of the most successful and well-respected scrap metal buyers in Europe is sitting on the back seat of my car. I glance at him in the rear mirror, a middle-aged man in well-pressed trousers and a brown tweed jacket. He is stressing the […]

The world is a great adventure. I am allowed to come to the office today. I’m four years old, and I’m standing in front of a door on the second floor. It’s a black wooden door with a silver handle high up. I look at Papa, then back at the door. It’s so high I […]

The shop window was […]
