Well, there's lawlessness for you

Apparently it's illegal in the UK to deface an image of the Queen. Jim Hawkins of BBC Radio Shropshire just borrowed a fiver from a colleague, drew a moustache on it, and gloated, live on air.

Feels really weird to listen to the show in the morning instead of the evening.

It is illegal in Canada too, which is the supposed reason for the illegality elongated coin (penny squishing)machines here. The few that I have seen here either stipulate that you use an American penny, or the machine supplies its own copper token. Somehow it's not quite the same.

How does one listen to Jim's show online anyway?

You may go here and click the "Listen Live" link. I think you have to have RealPlayer installed, which is apparently a problem for some.

it's technically illegal to deface/alter U.S. currency as well. I don't know how the machine owners get away with it.
