I wouldn't have thought it was deemed a racist word. You hear it quite often in movies or TV shows to designate night-shops.

There has been speculation he was referring to packies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquor_store) and Whiley and Radcliffe didn't seem to twig anything, but who knows.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834265575179460764noreply@blogger.com
