Yes, they did. Car dealers owned by Sir Tom Cowie iirc. Cowies are charva slang for ecstasy tablets though, which is what Dan was on about.

[manc-mag 1]

Oh aye yeah, I think I've heard 'cowies' in that context too. Probably only in Viz tho. Should have just kept it buttoned tbh.

[Guest alex]

'Gary Abletts' from Liverpool (obviously) = tablets (i.e. pills) is my personal favourite.
