transporter man:
Hi Harry
Nearly 100% sure he was not related, I think you did know him you mentioned him in one of your earlier posts as living near you at Moorside I think. He was known to every one as P— a man from Pakistan which this site edits out.

transporter man:
Gordon Pulman
Gordon passed away a couple of weeks ago and was cremated at Mountsett last Thursday.
Gordon started at W A Glendinning Ltd in July 1970 driving the vans & pick ups. After passing His HGV he drove tippers & flats working his way onto the car transporters. I am not too sure how long he was at Glendinnings it was a number of years, I have a feeling he may have left & came back again.
RIP Gordon

hiya,
Just wondering “transporter man” was Gordon Pulman related to John “Jacky” Pulman who worked with me
at Cookies ( BRS ) and he also worked for Gallaghers and I think Elddis, Jacky will be well into his 70s by
now, it would be in the mid 70s when I did a short spell at Glenny’s and Gordon doesn’t ring any bells.
thanks harry long retired.

hiya,
Thanks T M got him now, did live near me at Moorside sad he can’t have been very old,

Hello F Troop. Am I Correct in thinking this 143 belonged to Armitage, the cattle Dealer from North Yorkshire. Not sure that this is the lorry that Mick Grant bought as Lawrence Dunbar says though. I seem to Think That was an Ex Olivers of Eccles 6x2 113 360/380 K33 OTK ■■? Dan

The late Mick Grant did buy the Scania from Fergys, it was painted in Fergy,s colours, he replaced it with one of Olivers, & then carried on to replace that one with a Volvo. Regards Larry.
