Did you ask him why he lived here and not in Germany?
Perfectly normal question to ask. If I came from another country, lived in the U.K. and told you that I was earning £25k but my brother who lived in Germany was doing the same job, for less hours and getting paid £35k, would you not ask why I chose to live in the UK?How to make friends and influence people.

Do they get paid in sterling in Germany? Are you sure it’s not €35k?Anecdotal so not scientific but our Romainan postman (so he tells me) earns £25k a year and must work weekends without overtime. His brother does the exact same job in Germany, works fewer hours for £35,000 and gets double time at weekends.

Nissan to lead £2bn investment in UK electric car plant
The Japanese firm will build three EV models at the Sunderland factory, securing 6,000 jobs.www.bbc.co.uk
Alan Johnson, Nissan's senior vice president of manufacturing and supply chain, told the BBC's Today programme that the UK "can be a competitive place for car production, but everything needs to be right".
"Not just the plant itself, but the surrounding environment: energy costs, infrastructure, local government [and] national government support, needs to be right for it to work," he said.
The UK government has provided support for Nissan through the Automotive Transformation Fund.
Mr Johnson declined to comment on how much funding the company has received from UK taxpayers.
He said: "The support we have received in the past has been excellent and we're very grateful for the support we do receive.
"The truth is discussions are ongoing with the government, not concluded, and therefore I'm not in a position at the moment to make any announcement or any comment about any numbers."
