And lo, it came to pass, that on the 6th of August 1984, Gordon did start at Thomsons Motor Factors, where an almost unbelievable FORTY YEARS later to the day, he still finds himself(jokes about 'life sentences' are now totally redundant).
On that day(a beautiful sunny day in the middle of a long hot Summer - remember them?), the staff was Tom Thomson, John Brown, Kenny Jaffrey, Old Tom Rattray(our one and only van driver at the time), and in the office Val Foggo. Gordon replaced Billy Gower who was moved up to Discount Motor Store.
Will Gordon still be here in another 40 years? Well, some people reckon the building will fall down around him first 😃 😀
