PaulH,
Thank you! I truly enjoyed your clearer vantage point and opinion and
appreciated your astute clarification of the "Morris- Nuffield" mystery that
has long perplexed me. I most gratefully stand corrected and beg your kind
forgiveness as I am only a curious seeker of the truth. Amigos? Cool!

As to why he took the name Nuffield when he was honoured (which is a
completely different point to accusing him of buying it), you obviously
don't understand how peerages and honours work (and there is no reason why
you should - until you start attacking those who have received them).
Peers
of the realm are *required* to take a title when honoured, and are
thereafter known by that title instead of their family name. It is
usually
a place they have had some long or favourite connection with, and in the
case of Morris 'Nuffield' was the name of the Oxfordshire village where he
had chosen to settle.
