Fable: The German Who Loved England And Became A Lord

There was once a German (pictured) who became fed up with his life in Munich and thought he would try England.

After a very short time he decided he very much liked life in England and Anglicised his name.

After working in various companies he decided to set up his own and as he was  intrigued by electrical appliances he set up a factory which would make,  in his words,  “everything electrical”.

The  company became a dominant force in the UK electrical and electronic industry, at one time employing over 250,000 people, and he became a Peer of the Realm.



Moral: Go where  you feel good
