Great news as New Zealand follows the example of nations like Germany, the UK and others and quashing historic convictions for homosexual sex. Closer to home, the news that McLaren are opening up in my home town of Sheffield is making me grin. Not just because of the of what it means as a coup for Sheffield University, or the 200 jobs it will create, but the childish joy of knowing my hometown helps make supercars (Can be such a grown-up at times).
