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.
