Crow AptokAt my school in Oxfordshire there was a toilet reserved for teenage girls, known to us as the 'period palace'. The sign on the door read: VI FORM GIRLS. With black electrical tape and tippex, I altered it to: VD FROM GIRLS.
In the same town was a recreational ground with the sign: DO NOT LET DOGS FOUL THE PLAYING FIELD. IT'S NOT FUN FALLING IN DOG DIRT.' Someone removed the 'NOT' from the second sentence. Someone else altered 'DIRT' to 'SHIT'. A third person changed 'DO NOT' to 'PLEASE'. I giggled.
In today's Sunday Times there's a report of some badly punctuated racist graffitti in New York, that read 'NIGGER'S OUT'. To which someone had appended: 'But he'll be back shortly.'
Finally, anyone driving to Oxford on the M40 will have seen 'CROW APTOK' painted on an old bridge support. Anyone know what it means?

Don't think this one's been mentioned yet...On a roadsign near Regent's Park, London, 'Get In Lane', was altered with yellow spray paint to 'Get In Line, You Camels'.
No idea, but I liked it. Unfortunately not there any more.

Another one I've just rememberedIn the "obscure" category: all over my school, written on desks, walls, ceilings, was the epithet WAXY JONES LIKES CHOC SAUCE.
Nobody ever knew who Mr Jones was, why he liked choc sauce, or who it was who wanted to inform us of this fact.

Alas it seems we've missed the radio show, if anything we've posted is worth repeating.

CROW APTOKTried Googling that a while ago for a mate and it came up with a web address which came up with... a blank page, ho hum. Amusingly the Outlook spellchecker suggested "Cowpat" & "Cowpoke", maybe that explains it...
