 Top 5 places you've woken up after a big night out

On a bed of empty McDonald’s cartons and a cloud of regret

Covered in jelly, sharing a sleeping bag with a friend on a slab of concrete

Beside a glass of water, a Berocca, two Panadol and a chicken and cheese sandwich

On a lounge chair by my best friend’s pool… in the middle of winter

In Ipswich
