American DJ?
When Jimmy is getting ready to leave for Brighton and is listening to the radio, the DJ has an American accent. What's up?

Back in the sixties there were a few 'pirate' radio stations ie Radio Caroline (god bless her) Radio London and others. Some of these were small ships moored in the North Sea.
There were various international dj'sand some became 'famous' household names.
I was born in 1946 and was a rocker yeeeeeah.
Great times
Some of it may be based on Emperor Rosko, an American who DJ'd on the famous pirate station Radio Caroline from 1964.

If you listen carefully to the jingle playing out while Jimmy is retrieving his stash, he was listening to Radio London.

at the time, it was popular to have American DJ's especially with most of the best music in the early 60s coming from American R&B bands
