"Lou Ottens, inventor of the cassette tape, dies aged 94" www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/11/lou-ottens-inventor-of-the-cassette-tape-dies-aged-94"Lou Ottens (21 June 1926 – 6 March 2021) was a Dutch engineer and inventor, best known for inventing the cassette tape.[1] Ottens was employed by Philips for the entirety of his career.[2][3]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_OttensThe Dutch wiki page is a bit more elaborate, pass through google translate or ask me. "Lodewijk Frederik (Lou) Ottens (Bellingwolde, 21 juni 1926 – Duizel, 6 maart 2021) was een Nederlands ingenieur, uitvinder en manager. Ottens was zijn hele carrière in dienst van Philips. Na een korte aanloopperiode begon hij zijn loopbaan in de fabriek in Hasselt als hoofd van de afdeling productontwikkeling. In die functie gaf hij de aanzet tot de uitvinding van de compact cassette, vaak aangeduid als cassettebandje. Later werd hij fabrieksdirecteur in Hasselt en vervolgens directeur van de Audiodivisie. Daar legde hij de basis voor de uitvinding van de cd. Aansluitend werd hij directeur van de Videodivisie, waar op dat moment de Video 2000 werd geïntroduceerd. De laatste jaren van zijn carrière was Ottens verantwoordelijk voor een project dat tot doel had de industriële logistiek in de consumentendivisies van Philips te verbeteren." nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Ottens

Probably in 1971 I bought a Philips portable cassette player and got three tapes with it. Deep Purple Child in Time, Rob Hoeke Boogie Woogie and whatever. Those were the days.

Depends. I'm from solid Saxon stock, could have far relatives in England. Anyway, the previous two Williams show it's always those bloody foreigners.
