Nangona kukho phantse akukho ntengiso, uHenry usengumfanekiso wezigidi zamakhaya, kuquka i-10 Downing Street.Dibana nendoda esemva kwebali lempumelelo laseBritani elingaqhelekanga
Ngo-Matshi walo nyaka, iifoto zegumbi likarhulumente elitsha elinobunewunewu zavuza kumajelo eendaba, apho intloko ka-Boris Johnson yemithombo yeendaba entsha iya kubamba inkomfa yabezindaba yemihla ngemihla.Njengondoqo wendlela yonxibelelwano “yomongameli”, sele ivuse impikiswano malunga neendleko zomrhafi ezixabisa i-2.6 yezigidi zeerandi.Ngemvelaphi entle eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, iflegi enkulu yomanyano kunye neqonga elimangalisayo, ikhangeleka njengeqonga lenkqubo kamabonwakude yaseMelika okanye yezomthetho: Unxibelelwano lweWest Wing kunye noJaji Judy.
Into efunwa ligumbi lengcaciso yinto yokuphelisa ukubaxo kwayo.Kuyavela ukuba into eyifunayo yimbonakalo ye-cameo evela kwi-620-watt anthropomorphic vacuum cleaner.Isixhobo esomeleleyo esibomvu kunye nesimnyama asibonakali kwiphiko kwicala lasekhohlo leqonga, kodwa sinokubonwa ngokukrwaqula.Ukushiya iqonga, intonga yakhe yechrome yoyame ngodonga olupeyintiweyo lwe skirting railing, kwaye isicoci sikaHenry sokufutha sakhangeleka siphantse sakhupha amehlo.
Ifoto yakhawuleza yaduma;kukho izinto ezihlekisayo malunga “nevacuum yobunkokeli”."Ngaba singabamba uHenry ophetheyo?"umsasazi kamabonakude uLorraine Kelly wabuza.INumatic International ikwindawo enkulu yeeshedi ezinkulu kwidolophu encinci yaseChad, eSomerset, kwaye abaphathi bayo bayonwabele kakhulu loo nto.“Iyothusa into yokuba uHenry embalwa kakhulu kuloo foto.Bangaphi abantu abeza kuthi baza basibuza, ‘Niyibonile?Ngaba uyibonile?"UChris Duncan uthe, uyinkampani Umseki kunye nomnikazi wedwa, uHenry uyasuswa kumgca wemveliso rhoqo ngemizuzwana engama-30.
UDuncan waqamba uHenry kwiminyaka engama-40 eyadlulayo kweli hlobo.Ngoku uneminyaka eyi-82 kwaye uxabisa i-£ 150 yezigidi.Ubizwa ngokuba “Mnu.D” phakathi kwe-1,000 labasebenzi bomzi-mveliso, kodwa usasebenza ngokusisigxina kwidesika yokuma ayakhileyo.Emva kweenyanga zokucenga, wathetha nam kudliwano-ndlebe lokuqala olusemthethweni.
UHenry ngokungalindelekanga waba ngumfanekiso woyilo lwaseBritane kunye nokuvelisa.Ezandleni zenkosana kunye nombhobho (uCharles noDiana bafumana enye yeemodeli zokuqala njengezipho zomtshato ngo-1981), naye ungumqolo wezigidi zeentsapho eziqhelekileyo.Ukongeza kwimbonakalo yeendwendwe zaseDowning Street, uHenry naye wafotwa ejinga entanjeni kuba iiziphu zentambo zazicoca iWestminster Abbey.Kwiveki emva kotyelelo lwam kwikomkhulu likaHenry, uKathy Burke wafumana enye ngelixa wayendwendwela indlu entle kakhulu kwiChannel 4's series Money Talks on rich.“Nokuba usisityebi kangakanani na, wonke umntu uyamdinga uHenry,” utshilo.
UHenry ungumntu okhohlakeleyo waseDyson.Uye wabhukuqa imilinganiselo yentlalo yentengiso yezixhobo zasekhaya ngendlela ethozamileyo nehlekisayo, etyhafisa olu phawu likhulu nolubiza kakhulu kunye nomdali walo oyibhiliyoni.UJames Dyson wafumana i-knighthood kwaye wafumana umhlaba ongaphezulu kunokumkanikazi.Wayegxekwa ngokukhupha imveliso kunye neeofisi ukuya e-Asia, ngelixa ekwaxhasa iBrexit.Isikhumbuzo sakhe samva nje siza kupapashwa ngoSeptemba kulo nyaka, kwaye abacoci bakhe basekuqaleni bathathelwa ingqalelo kakhulu kwiMyuziyam yoYilo.UHenry?Hayi okuninzi.Kodwa ukuba uDyson uzisa amabhongo, ukuqamba izinto ezintsha, kunye nomoya okhethekileyo kwiBig Vacuum, ke uHenry, ekuphela kwemveliso yokucoca isicoci sabathengi esenziwe ngobuninzi esenziwa e-UK, izisa ubulula, ukuthembeka- kunye nokunqongophala okumnandi.Imvakalelo yomoya.“Imbudane!”Le yayiyimpendulo kaDuncan xa ndandicebisa ukuba naye abhale imemoir.
Njengonyana wepolisa laseLondon, uDuncan wayenxibe ihempe enemikhono emifutshane enentamo evulekileyo;amehlo akhe abengezela emva kweendondo zegolide.Uhlala imizuzu eli-10 ukusuka kwikomkhulu laseChard.IPorsche yakhe inepleyiti yelayisenisi ethi "Henry", kodwa ayinazo ezinye izindlu, ayinazo iiyachts kunye nezinye izixhobo.Kunoko, uthanda ukusebenza iiyure ezingama-40 ngeveki nomfazi wakhe oneminyaka engama-35 ubudala uAnn (unoonyana abathathu kumfazi wakhe wangaphambili) ).Ukuthozama kugqobhoza kwi-Nummatic.Ikhampasi ifana neWenham Hogg kuneSilicon Valley;inkampani ayikhe ibhengeze uHenry, kwaye ayigcini iarhente yobudlelwane boluntu.Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokunyuka kwemfuno yezixhobo zasekhaya ezinxulumene nobhubhane, imbuyekezo yayo isondele kwi-160 lezigidi zeeponti kwaye ngoku yenze ngaphezulu kwe-14 yezigidi ze-Henry vacuum cleaners, kubandakanya irekhodi engama-32,000 kwiveki engaphambi kotyelelo lwam.
Xa uDuncan wafumana i-MBE eBuckingham Palace ngo-2013, uAnn wathatyathwa wasiwa eholweni ukuze abonelele ngewonga.Wathi: “Indoda enxibe iyunifomu yathi, ‘Wenza ntoni umyeni wakho?’” wakhumbula.“Wathi, 'Wenze isicoci sikaHenry.'Uphantse watshitsha yena!Wathi: “Xa ndifika ekhaya ndize ndixelele umfazi wam ukuba ndiye ndadibana noMnumzan’ uHenry, uya kucaphuka aze angabikho.“Bubudenge, kodwa la mabali axabiseke njengegolide.Asifuni matshini wepropaganda kuba wenziwa ngokuzenzekelayo.Wonke uHenry uphuma nobuso. "
Kweli nqanaba, ndiyavuma ukuba ndithe phithi kancinci ngoHenry.Xa ndandihlala naye kwiminyaka eyi-10 eyadlulayo, okanye xa wayefudukela kwikhaya elitsha emva kokuba sitshatile, andizange ndicinge kakhulu ngoHenry wentombi yam uJess.Kwade kwafika unyana wethu ngo-2017 ukuba waqala ukuthatha isikhundla esikhulu kusapho lwethu.
UJack, omalunga neminyaka emine ubudala, wayeyedwa xa wayeqala ukudibana noHenry.Ngenye intsasa, ngaphambi kokusa, uHenry wayeshiywe kwikhabhathi ngobusuku bangaphambili.UJack wayenxibe isuti yosana enemigca, wabeka ibhotile yakhe yosana kumgangatho weplanga, waza wagoba ukuze ahlole into engaqhelekanga elingana naye.Esi sisiqalo sothando olukhulu.UJack wanyanzelisa ukuba akhulule uHenry kwikhabhathi yakhe emnyama;iinyanga, wayeyindawo yokuqala Jack waya ekuseni kwaye into yokugqibela wacinga ebusuku.“Ndiyakuthanda,” watsho uYese ekwibhedi yakhe ngobunye ubusuku ngaphambi kokuba kucinywe izibane.“Ndiyamthanda uHenry,” waphendula ngelitshoyo.
Xa uJake wafumanisa ukuba umama unoHenry phezulu kunye noHenry ezantsi, wayengekho engqondweni ukuze asindise ukuphakamisa izinto ezinzima.Kangangeentsuku ezininzi, amabali angeyonyani awayecela ukuwafunda ngaphambi kokuba aye kulala ayengoMakhulu uHenry.Baza kufowunelana ebusuku ukuze badibane kwimicimbi yasekhaya.Ukuze ndibuyisele uHenry kwikhabhathi, ndathengela uJack into yokudlala uHenry.Ngoku uyakwazi ukwanga uHenry omncinane ngoxa elele, “umboko” wakhe ujikeleze iminwe yakhe.
Esi siganeko sifikelele incopho yaso ngokuqhambuka kobhubhane.Kwi-blockade yokuqala, u-Big Henry waba ngumhlobo osondeleyo kaJack kumhlobo wakhe.Wathi akubetha ngempazamo ivacuum ngesilawuli sakhe esincinci, wafika kwibhokisi yakhe yezixhobo zoogqirha yokudlala.Waqala ukubukela umxholo kaHenry kwiYouTube, kubandakanya nezimvo ezinzulu ngabaphembeleli be-vacuum.Ukuthabatheka kwakhe akumangalisi;UHenry ukhangeleka ngathi yinto yokudlala enkulu.Kodwa ukomelela kolu nxibelelwano, luthando lukaJack kuphela kumantshontsho akhe anqabileyo anokumelana naye, nto leyo endenza ndibe nomdla wokwazi ngemvelaphi kaHenry.Ndaqonda ukuba akukho nto ndiyaziyo ngaye.Ndaqala ukuthumela ii-imeyile kwi-Nummatic, kwaye andizange ndiyazi ukuba yinkampani yaseBritani.
Emva eSomerset, umdali kaHenry wandixelela ibali lakhe lemvelaphi.UDuncan wazalwa ngo-1939 kwaye wachitha ixesha elininzi lobuntwana bakhe eVienna, apho utata wakhe wathunyelwa ukuya kuncedisa ukuseka umkhosi wamapolisa emva kwemfazwe.Wabuyela eSomerset eneminyaka eyi-16, wafumana izidanga ze-O kwaye wazibandakanya nomthengisi waselwandle.Umhlobo wakhe waselwandle wamcela ukuba afune umsebenzi ePowrmatic, inkampani evelisa izifudumezi zepetroli empuma London.UDuncan wayengumthengisi ozalelweyo, kwaye waqhuba inkampani de wayishiya waza waseka iNummatic ngo-1969. Wafumana umsantsa kwimarike kwaye wayefuna iarhente yokucoca eyomeleleyo nethembekileyo enokufunxa umsi kunye nodaka olubaswe ngamalahle kunye negesi. iibhoyila.
Ishishini le-vacuum liphuhliswa ukususela ekuqaleni kwe-1900s, xa injineli yaseBritane u-Hubert Cecil Booth (u-Hubert Cecil Booth) wayila umatshini otsalwa ngamahashe ombhobho omde unokudlula kwiingcango kunye neefestile zezindlu ezitofotofo.Kwisibhengezo sentengiso ngowe-1906, ithumbu lijikelwe kwikhaphethi eshinyeneyo oku kwenyoka enobubele, amehlo entelekelelo ejinga emlonyeni wentsimbi, ejonge kwisicakakazi.“Abahlobo” sisilogeni.
Ngeli xesha, eOhio, umcoci wevenkile yesebe lesifo sombefu ogama linguJames Murray Spangler wasebenzisa i-fan motor ukwenza isicoci esibanjwa ngesandla ngo-1908. Xa wayesenzela umzala wakhe uSusan, umyeni wakhe, umenzi wempahla yesikhumba ogama linguWilliam Hoover, wagqiba kwelokuba ukuthenga ipatent.IHoover yaba sisicoci sevacuum sasekhaya sokuqala esiphumeleleyo.E-UK, uphawu lwentengiso luye lwafana necandelo lemveliso (i-"hoover" ngoku ibonakala njengesenzi kwisichazi-magama).Kodwa kwaba ngowe-1950 apho abacoci baqalisa ukungena kumakhaya abantu abaninzi.UDyson ungumfundi wobugcisa ofunde wabucala owaqala ukuphuhlisa isicoci sakhe sokuqala esingenabhegi ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1970, eyathi ekugqibeleni yagungqisa ishishini liphela.
UDuncan akanamdla kwimarike yabathengi kwaye akanamali yokwenza iinxalenye.Waqala ngegubu elincinci leoli.Kufuneka isigqubuthelo ukuze kufakwe injini, yaye ufuna ukwazi ukuba isinki ejikisiweyo inokuyicombulula na le ngxaki.“Ndazijikeleza zonke iivenkile ndiphethe amagubu de ndafumana isitya esifanelekileyo,” ukhumbula oko.“Emva koko ndafowunela inkampani ndaza ndaodola iisinki ezimnyama ezingama-5 000.Bathi, “Hayi, hayi, awunakuyinxiba mnyama-iza kubonisa iimpawu zamaza kwaye ibonakale imbi.Ndibaxelele ukuba andifuni bahlambe izitya.Lo khokho kaHenry ngoku uqokelela uthuli kwipaseji esetyenziswa njenge Numatic Museum.Igubu leoli libomvu kwaye isitya esimnyama sifakwe kuso.Ineentsimbi zefenitshala emavilini.“Namhlanje, umgca ophambi kwakho apho ubeka khona ithumbu usengumgca wegubu oziintshi ezimbini,” utshilo uDuncan.
Embindini weminyaka yee-1970, emva kokuba iNummatic iphumelele, uDuncan wayekwindawo yaseBritane kumboniso worhwebo waseLisbon.“Kuyinto ekruqulayo njengesono,” ukhumbula oko.Ngobunye ubusuku, uDuncan nomnye wabathengisi bakhe bonqena baqalisa ukunxiba isicoci sevacuum samva nje, okokuqala ngokubopha iribhoni, emva koko babeka ibheji yeflegi yomanyano kwinto eyaqala ukukhangeleka ngathi ngumnqwazi.Bafumana itshokhwe baza batsala uncumo olukrwada phantsi kombhobho.Isuke yangathi yimpumlo kwaza kwalandela amanye amehlo.Ukuze bafumane isiteketiso esifanelekileyo kwiBritish, bakhetha uHenry.“Siyibeke kunye nazo zonke ezinye izixhobo ekoneni, kwaye abantu bancuma bakhomba ngosuku olulandelayo,” utshilo uDuncan.Ukubuyela eNummatic, eyayinabasebenzi abaninzi ngelo xesha, uDuncan wacela abasebenzi bakhe bezentengiso ukuba bayile ubuso obufanelekileyo bomntu ococayo."UHenry" iseyi-nickname yangaphakathi;imveliso isaprintwa ngeNummatic ngaphezulu kwamehlo.
Kumboniso olandelayo worhwebo e-Bahrain, umongikazi kwiSibhedlele seNkampani ye-Aramco Petroleum ekufutshane wacela ukuba athengele iwadi yabantwana ukukhuthaza ukuchacha abantwana ukuba bancede ngokucoca (ndinokuzama esi sicwangciso ekhaya ngaxa lithile).“Sizifumene zonke ezi ngxelo zincinci, kwaye sacinga ukuba kukho into ekhoyo kuyo,” utshilo uDuncan.Wongeza imveliso, kwaye ngo-1981 i-Nummatic yongeza igama lika-Henry kwisiciko esimnyama, esaqala ukufana nomnqwazi we-bowler.UDuncan usagxile kwimarike yorhwebo, kodwa uHenry uyahamba;beva ukuba umntu ococa iofisi uthetha noHenry ukuze aphelise ingxaki yasebusuku.“Bamthathele entliziyweni,” watsho uDuncan.
Kungekudala, abathengisi abakhulu baqala ukuqhagamshelana ne-Nummatic: abathengi babona uHenry ezikolweni nakwiindawo zokwakha, kwaye udumo lwakhe njengomhlobo oqinileyo kushishino lwakha udumo olwadluliselwa ngomlomo.Abanye abantu baphinde banuka isivumelwano (ixabiso likaHenry namhlanje lixabiso eliphantsi le-100 le-Dyson).UHenry wangena esitratweni ngo-1985. Nangona iNummatic yazama ukuthintela ukusetyenziswa kwegama elithi “Hoover” elavalwa likomkhulu lale nkampani, uHenry wakhawuleza wabizwa ngokungekho sikweni ngokuthi “Henry Hoover” luluntu, waza watshata nohlobo ngemfanozandi.Umlinganiselo wokukhula ngonyaka umalunga nesigidi esi-1, yaye ngoku uquka uHetty noGeorges nabanye abazalwana noodade, abanemibala eyahlukahlukeneyo.“Sijike into engaphiliyo yaba yinto ephilayo,” utshilo uDuncan.
U-Andrew Stephen, unjingalwazi wezentengiso kwiYunivesithi yaseOxford eSaid Business School, waqala wabhideka xa ndamcela ukuba ahlole ukuthandwa kukaHenry."Ndicinga ukuba imveliso kunye ne-brand iheha abantu ukuba bayisebenzise, kunokuba babenze bawele kwizinto eziqhelekileyo, oko kukuthi, sebenzisa ixabiso njengesibonakaliso sommeleli womgangatho," kusho uStephen.
“Ixesha linokuba yinxalenye yalo,” utshilo uLuke Harmer, umyili wemizi-mveliso kunye nomhlohli kwiYunivesithi yaseLoughborough.UHenry wafika kwiminyaka embalwa emva kokuba ifilimu yokuqala ye-Star Wars ikhutshwe, kunye neerobhothi ezingenabungozi, kuquka i-R2-D2.“Ndifuna ukwazi ukuba ingaba imveliso inxulumene nemveliso ebonelela ngeenkonzo kwaye inoomatshini ngandlel’ ithile.Ungabuxolela ubuthathaka bayo kuba yenza umsebenzi oluncedo.”Xa uHenry wawa, kwakunzima ukumcaphukela.“Kuphantse kwafana nokuhamba nenja,” watsho uHarmer.
Ukuwa ayikuphela kokukhathazeka kubanini beemoto zikaHenry.Wabanjwa ekoneni kwaye ngamaxesha athile wawa kwizinyuko.Ephosa umbhobho wakhe omdaka waza wazulazula kwikhabhathi egcweleyo, kwaba ngathi kuwisa inyoka engxoweni.Phakathi kovavanyo olulungileyo ngokubanzi, kukho uvandlakanyo oluyi-avareji lwentsebenzo (nangona ewugqibile umsebenzi ekhayeni lam).
Kwangaxeshanye, ukuthanda kukaJake akukuphela nje.Unike iNummatic ngamathuba okuthengisa angenamsebenzi alungele ukuthozama kwakhe-kwaye wasindisa izigidi kwiindleko zentengiso.Ngo-2018, xa abantu abangama-37,000 bebhalisela ukuzisa abacoci, umfundi weYunivesithi yaseCardiff wanyanzelwa libhunga ukuba arhoxise ipikniki kaHenry.Isibheno sikaHenry siye sahamba kwihlabathi jikelele;I-Nummatic isanda ngokuthumela iimveliso zayo kumazwe angaphandle.UDuncan wandinika ikopi ethi “Henry eLondon”, eyayiyincwadi yeefoto eveliswe ngobungcali apho uHenry wayetyelela iindawo ezidumileyo.Abafazi abathathu baseJapan beza noHenry ukuba abhabhe esuka eTokyo ukuya kudubula.
Ngo-2019, umlandeli wase-Illinois oneminyaka emi-5 u-Erik Matich, onyangwa i-leukemia, wabhabha iimayile ezingama-4,000 ukuya eSomerset kunye ne-Make-A-Wish yesisa.Ibisoloko iliphupha lakhe ukubona ikhaya likaHenry [u-Eric ngoku ukwimeko entle kwaye uza kulugqiba unyango lwakhe kulo nyaka].UDuncan uthe abantwana abaninzi abane-autism nabo bathathe uhambo olufanayo.“Babonakala behlobene noHenry kuba akakhe abaxelele ukuba mabenze ntoni,” utshilo.Uzamile ukusebenzisana nemibutho yesisa ye-autism, kwaye kutsha nje ufumene umzobi wokunceda ukwenza iincwadi zikaHenry & Hetty ezinokuthi zithengiswe izibonelelo (azithengiswa ngokubanzi).KwiDragon Adventure kaHenry & Hetty, i-duo etshayela uthuli yafumana ucingo lwedragoni ngelixa icoca indawo yokugcina izilwanyana.Babhabha nenamba besiya enqabeni, apho iwizard yaphulukana nebhola yakhe yekristale-de bayifumane ngakumbi abacoci bevacuum.Ayizi kufumana mbasa, kodwa ndathi ndakumfundela le ncwadi uJack ngobo busuku, wavuya kakhulu.
Umtsalane kaHenry ebantwaneni nawo ubangela imingeni, njengoko ndafumanisayo xa ndandityelele umzi-mveliso noPaul Stevenson, umphathi wemveliso oneminyaka engama-55 ubudala, osebenze eNummatic ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-30.Umfazi kaPaul uSuzanne kunye nabantwana babo ababini abadala nabo basebenza e-Nummatic, esavelisa ezinye iimveliso zorhwebo, kuquka ukucoca iitroli kunye ne-rotary scrubbers.Ngaphandle kobhubhane kunye nokulibaziseka kwiindawo ezinxulumene neBrexit, umzi-mveliso usasebenza kakuhle;UDuncan, othe cwaka uxhasa iBrexit, ukulungele ukoyisa into akholelwa ukuba ziingxaki zokuqala.
Kungcelele lweeshedi ezinkulu ezikhupha ivumba leplastiki eshushu, abasebenzi abangama-800 ababenxibe iibhatyi ezikhazimle kakhulu bafaka iipellet zeplastiki koomatshini bokubumba benaliti abangama-47 ukuze benze amakhulukhulu amalungu, kuquka iemele ebomvu kaHenry nomnqwazi omnyama.Iqela elibhinqileyo longeza intambo yamandla ejiyileyo kaHenry.I-reel yentambo ibekwe phezulu "kwe-cap", kwaye amandla adluliselwa kwi-motor engezantsi ngeeprongs ezimbini zetsimbi eziphakanyiswe kancinci, ezijikelezayo kwindandatho ye-greased receiver.Imoto iqhubela ifeni ngasemva, ifunxa umoya ngombhobho kunye nebhakethi ebomvu, kwaye elinye iqela longeza isihluzo kunye nebhegi yothuli kuyo.Kwinxalenye yensimbi, ipayipi yensimbi ifakwe kwi-bender yepayipi ye-pneumatic ukudala i-kink ye-iconic kwi-wand kaHenry.Oku kuyamangalisa.
Baninzi kakhulu abantu kuneerobhothi, kwaye omnye wabo uya kuqeshwa rhoqo kwimizuzwana engama-30 ukuba athwale uHenry ohlanganiseneyo kwibhokisi yokucwangciswa."Senza imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo ngeyure nganye," utshilo uStevenson, owaqala ukuvelisa uHenry malunga ne-1990. Umgca wemveliso kaHenry ngowona mgca wemveliso oxakekileyo kumzi-mveliso.Kwenye indawo, ndadibana noPaul King, oneminyaka engama-69, oza kuthatha umhlala-phantsi emva kweminyaka engama-50 esebenza eNummatic.Namhlanje, wenza izixhobo zokukhwela i-scrubbers.“Ndandisebenza kwaHenry kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, kodwa ngoku bayakhawuleza kakhulu kum kulo mgca,” utshilo emva kokucima unomathotholo.
Ubuso bukaHenry bakhe baprintwa ngokuthe ngqo kwi-barrel ebomvu.Kodwa imithetho yezempilo nokhuseleko kwezinye iimarike zamazwe ngamazwe inyanzela abantu ukuba benze utshintsho.Nangona kungekho ziganeko zirekhodiweyo kangangeminyaka engama-40, obu buso bugqalwa buyingozi kuba busenokukhuthaza abantwana ukuba badlale ngezixhobo zekhaya.UHenry omtsha ngoku unephaneli eyahlukileyo.E-UK, ifakwe kumzi-mveliso.Kwimarike eyoyikeka ngakumbi, abathengi banokuyincamathela ngomngcipheko wabo.
Imimiselo ayikuphela kwentloko.Njengoko ndandiqhubeka nokukhulisa umkhwa kaJack Henry nge-Intanethi, kwavela icala elingenampilo lokunqula kwakhe uthuli.Kukho uHenry ophefumla umlilo, uHenry olwayo, inoveli yabalandeli baka-X kunye nevidiyo yomculo apho indoda ithatha uHenry olahliweyo, ukuze nje imkrwitshe xa elele.Abanye abantu baya kude.Ngo-2008, emva kokuba umlandeli wabanjwa kanye noHenry kwi-canteen yefektri, umsebenzi wakhe njengomsebenzi wokwakha wagxothwa.Ebesitsho esithi ebefunxa impahla yakhe yangaphantsi.
“Ividiyo kaRussell Howard ayizukunyamalala,” utshilo u-Andrew Ernill, umlawuli wentengiso weNumat.Wayethetha ngesiqendu sika-2010 sikaRussell Howard’s Good News.Emva kokuba umdlali ohlekisayo ebalisa ibali lepolisa elibanjelwe ukuba uHenry ngexesha lokulwa neziyobisi, unqumla kwividiyo apho uHenry ethatha i-"cocaine" enkulu kwitafile yekofu.
U-Ernil uzimisele ngakumbi ukuthetha ngekamva likaHenry, ngokunjalo noDuncan.Kulo nyaka, wongeze igosa lokuqala letekhnoloji ye-Numatic, u-Emma McDonagh, kwibhodi yabalawuli njengenxalenye yesicwangciso esibanzi sokulungiselela inkampani ukuba "xa ndinokubetha ilori."Njengomakadebona oqeshwe kwi-IBM, uya kunceda inkampani ikhule kwaye yenze ooHenry abaninzi ngendlela ezinzileyo.Kukho izicwangciso ezininzi zokuzisebenzela kunye nokwandisa ingqesho yasekuhlaleni.UHenry nabantwana bakowabo ngoku bafumaneka ngobukhulu nangemibala eyahlukahlukeneyo;kukho nemodeli engenantambo.
Nangona kunjalo, uDuncan uzimisele ukugcina ivacuum yakhe njengoko injalo: isengumatshini olula kakhulu.UDuncan wandixelela ngokuzingca ukuba phantse zonke iinxalenye ezingama-75 ezenza imodeli yamva nje zinokusetyenziselwa ukulungisa “eyokuqala”, awayibiza ngokuba yeyokuqala ngowe-1981;ngexesha lokulahla inkunkuma ekhawulezileyo, uHenry uhlala ehlala kwaye kulula ukuyilungisa.Xa ithumbu likaHenry lam liphuma empumlweni yakhe kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ndaliqhawula nge-intshi enye ndaza ndalijija ndalibuyisela endaweni yalo ngeglu.
Ekugqibeleni, i-Downing Street uHenry igqithise iimfuno.Emva kokubonakala kondwendwe kangangenyanga, umbono wenkomfa yabezindaba yemihla ngemihla warhoxiswa ngomhla we-10: igumbi lengcaciso lalisetyenziselwa isibhengezo sobhubhani weNkulumbuso.UHenry akazange aphinde abonakale.Ngaba i-U-turn yonxibelelwano kufuneka ifakwe kwimbonakalo yakhe ngengozi?"Umsebenzi kaHenry emva komdlalo uye waxatyiswa kakhulu," satsho isithethi sikarhulumente.
UHenry wam uchitha ixesha elingakumbi phantsi kwezitepsi kule mihla, kodwa unxibelelwano lwakhe noJack luhlala luqinile.UJack ngoku angathethela iNgilani, ukuba ayisoloko ihambelana.Xa ndazama ukwenza udliwano-ndlebe naye, kwacaca ukuba wayecinga ukuba akukho nto ingaqhelekanga ngokuthanda izinto zokucoca."Ndiyathanda uHenry Hoover kunye noHeidi Hoover kuba bobabini baseHoover," wandixelela.“Kuba ungadibanisa nabo.
“Ndiyamthanda uHoover,” waqhubeka, ecaphukile.Kodwa, Tata, ndithanda igama elithi Khufu kuphela.
