Sticking up two fingers has different meanings depending which way the hand is facing. If the back of the hand is facing outwards then it is classed as an offensive gesture, whereas with the palm outward it is still classed as the peace gesture in the UK or back in WWII it also symbolized V for victory.
It has historical connections, including its use by English archers during the Hundred Years’ War. Some claim it was a symbol of defiance by archers who still had both fingers needed to draw a bow.
To swear, you do a V with knuckles facing towards the other person. For peace, you do a V with your palm facing the other person. As stated above it was meant as a "F U" to the French by our archers, showing them we can still fight.
Don't you Poms use it for V for Victory? Not Peace. Or is it both... in Straya 🇦🇺 it can mean both, but generally only Aussies from British backgrounds use it both ways.
I love Coral Island, though I have never seen it so quiet, you did well, for future reference, when that 30 ticket, went down the other slot, you can ask them to retrieve it, if they can find it, they will give it to you, and I agree pirate flyer is super fun!! Great video, thanks for sharing 😁👍
Are these people anyone elses childhood?....❤ I remembered about them today and spent hours looking for their chanel i perticularlly remembered them by their gingerbread house competetions and their christmas tree 😊 They shoud do a gingerbread house competetion and a christmas tree decorating again 😊 Thank you for being apart of my childhood memories❤😊love yall lots❤
I love Coral Island we go there when we visit Blackpool. It's not too far away from where I live. I have the Coral Island bear you tried for. Sometimes you can get them with tickets if you save your tickets up. Sending love ❤
Wow it’s been three years since I watched you guys I clicked on the video going back through the channel and relived my childhood all over again you guys are great
Seems someone has made off with one of them balls! :D I usually end up in Blackpool for stag-do's or threshold birthdays, and venture into Coral Island, but just the casino bit... Few spins on the roulette, a few beers... More so the morning after the night before, for a quiet hair of the dog! :D hehehe I just hope Coral Island take notice of this video, because every other machine seems to be knackered or not working... Which is such a shame, because, well... Where is the fun if you plough money in an already expensive and rigged machine, only to find out it's knackered anyway! :/
I remember reading that the "peace" sign in england is like flipping the bird because back in medieval days they would cut off the fingers of archers who got captured in war so they couldn't use their bows... so on the battle field archers would show the opposing side their two fingers(peace sign) mockingly. so it similar to a big "FU"
If the back of the hand is facing outwards then it is classed as an offensive gesture, whereas with the palm outward is still classed as the peace gesture in the UK or back in WWII it also symbolized victory.
Coral Island is probably the best themed arcade in the UK but every time I’ve been it has been packed and trying to redeem your tokens for prizes is a mission. I wish they’d go to a card system as I’m personally not a fan of physical tickets. That’s the quietest I’ve ever seen it.
Awesome , Only in the U.K where you can super amazing arcade amusement centers. It's great you still get tickets even if you don't win from the claw machines and lots of ways to get more tickets for amazing prizes at the redemption center. Lots of love and blessings.
Pirate Flyer used to be a better ride because the guns worked. That's why there's sparkly targets everywhere. The ghost train is supposed to do stuff when you press the button on the car too.
Great video as always guys 😎👍😊✅😁🙂💯 looks like Blackpool coral island has changed since I was there I love that the pirate flyer is still there and also that they’ve got new games and more coin pushers too keep up the great work guys
I used to live and work a few minutes from here. I worked in 'funland' a few minutes down the seafront, calling bingo! Many monies were spent in this place...
You should of gone to rock making shop snd brought the end of the rock they make, its still warm. I have never seen the ship ride there before. I thought it was new aswell. ❤❤❤❤XX
No way we love coral island and was there a few weeks ago! We won a few tickets and I got some toys for my boys. The pirate flyer is lots of fun! They do great food in that buccaneer restaurant too. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
You must have got there very early in the day, whenever we go to Coral Island its always absolutely packed out, and you can never get on the pirate boat, the queue is too long. Great prize, looks like you guys had a great time in Blackpool.
if you're such a star wars fan, if you'd gone up the coast a little bit to Fleetwood, you could've been where they shot some of one of the recent star wars series.
The peace sign like this with your finger nails facing towards you, is very commonly used and not bad. The same position but with finger nails facing away from you is swearing
I looked the peace sign up on Google and it said " when you give the peace and the back of your hand faces the other person" that's when it's considered a bad thing to do. But it does not say anything when giving the peace sign with your palm facing the other person.
I live in the South of England and there's a 2p machine like the dice zombie one you were playing that i love, got a bucket of keyrings I've won over time and I was focusing so much on my keyring I didn't notice I won jackpot bonus and won like 500 tickets!!! 😂😊❤
Depends on which way the 2 fingers are. If they are in the peace (palm facing away) that's fine. Means peace. If the 2 fingers are up and your palm is facing you, it's a bad word 😂
Its been a couple of years since I last visited blackpool we love coral Island but you dont expect to win much those claw machine are so rigged. Great to see you in the UK again i hope you had a good time. Next time you should record more content like trying the UK foods etc.
Coral Island is well known as one of the most rigged in the UK for claw machines but when the button flashes after each play the trick is to use the instant replay which it didn't look like that's what you guys were doing. It registers the plays by the times that has been pushed and works on a payout that way but even then a lot in Coral are impossible.
I(n the UK its not a "peace" sign. Its either a victory sign (Winston Churchill) or a "go forth and multiply" sign that goes back to medieval times and archers waving their bow drawing fingers at enemies.
How on earth am I forgetting to comment on these videos? the coin pusher ones are re mt favourite because 2p coin owners are mmy y favourite to pay in the arcade
The peace sign is actually the peace sign it’s the other way around that it means something else so if you put 2 fingers up outwards it’s fu but the peace sign is the same as yours
Showing the back of you hand with the peace sign 'V' is same as the middle finger, but you needs to flick it up. Not used that much, people favor using the middle finger gesture. The peace sign must be showing the palm of your hand to the person.
Just ro let u know with the tickets u dont habe to spend them the same day ie if ur sraying in blackpool.for a while u can go away and come back a nother day with the receipt after cashing the tickets in as they dont expire so if u save the ticket receipts u can go back a nother day and keep doing that till u have loads and then get bigger and better prizes
Historically the peace sign with palms back was a sign that the archer still had figures to pull a bow string back. Now an up yours.. the bird is worse..

Winston Churchill had to be informed of this after he inadvertently made the wrong sign.

What fun games in this arcade. You could spend days in there.
I love Coral Island we go there when we visit Blackpool. It's not too far away from where I live. I have the Coral Island bear you tried for. Sometimes you can get them with tickets if you save your tickets up. Sending love ❤
you were so lucky to get there when it was so quiet! it was so busy a few weeks ago when i went. literally couldn’t move😂
Every time I’m at Blackpool I always go there
Wow it’s been three years since I watched you guys I clicked on the video going back through the channel and relived my childhood all over again you guys are great

Loved this arcade when we last went, awesome prize too!
Looks like such a fun arcade!
This is my go-to arcade in blackpool. I love the camel racing and the 2p machines.
The claw machines are ao frustrating though. Pure payout
Me and my kids saw you 6 years ago here at coral Island. Time flies they're now in college x
Seems someone has made off with one of them balls! :D

Coral Island is an brilliant arcade in the universe! Cris & Angel, I ❤ your video, because is amazing!

They have actually started to move to cards!
Arrr!!! Good time !! Angel and crystal! I
I remember you used to play a game on the flying pirate ships,you had little guns and had to hit targets hanging from the ceiling with lasers
Coral island is my absolute faveourite arcade ever I love it so much xx
That was a great video ! Loved it. 🔥🤩🙌🏻
Awesome , Only in the U.K where you can super amazing arcade amusement centers. It's great you still get tickets even if you don't win from the claw machines and lots of ways to get more tickets for amazing prizes at the redemption center. Lots of love and blessings.

Thanks for the fly over it was amazing and your prize was amazing as well now is that gonna stay in the box or are you taking it out much ❤ guys
Such an awesome prize. Looked like fun on the ride.
as for the peace sign it depends on how you display it. Peace sign is palm facing outward
The two fingered salute is palm facing inwards
Great video as always guys 😎👍😊✅😁🙂💯 looks like Blackpool coral island has changed since I was there I love that the pirate flyer is still there and also that they’ve got new games and more coin pushers too keep up the great work guys
I love going to Blackpool to play in the arcades well any British seaside town because its one of the few places with arcades
Did you guys do any rollercoasters in the pleasure beach I know completely unrelated lol
Wow that place has a ton of things wow. I would go so broke.
Love Hearts candies are in Canada too.
Great video guys We just been away for weekend and I won the pooh 100years also from the big xl I won a dumbo soo cute
They have all the machines to not pay out. 😏
This arcade looks so fun! Great video guys :)
Loving the videos so glad you have made it to the uk 😊
Son many memory's in this place not changed much in years
I used to live and work a few minutes from here. I worked in 'funland' a few minutes down the seafront, calling bingo! Many monies were spent in this place...
You should of gone to rock making shop snd brought the end of the rock they make, its still warm. I have never seen the ship ride there before. I thought it was new aswell. ❤❤❤❤XX
I feel like there were a lot of broken stuff at this arcade.
No way we love coral island and was there a few weeks ago! We won a few tickets and I got some toys for my boys. The pirate flyer is lots of fun! They do great food in that buccaneer restaurant too. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Good vid in Blackpool thanks merry Xmas and new year both 2024
it changed again in the last few months. they have a new ride at the back near the claw machines
there are so many coin pushers
You must have got there very early in the day, whenever we go to Coral Island its always absolutely packed out, and you can never get on the pirate boat, the queue is too long. Great prize, looks like you guys had a great time in Blackpool.
I have went to Blackpool a 1000 times it is my favourite ear in the UK😊❤
The peace story sign is only offensive if the palm of the hand is facing the person getting giving the gesture
What day and time did you go? It's normally so busy you can't move.
My day is instantly made when you guys post 😊couldn’t sleep last night so I binged your videos until I fell asleep. Thank you for everything!
You guys are the best
Palm outwards with the two fingers up straight is the peace sign. Palm inwards with the two fingers up but curled inwards slightly is FU.
Awesome Ptw
This arcade looks 🔥🔥🔥
when i was in blackpool the butterfly 2p coin pusher was my favourite. i was able to win over 15 thousand tickets on it for probably just over £10 😁
Who else loves plush time wins
One thing ive always wondered about how do you get all the prices back home😅?
if you're such a star wars fan, if you'd gone up the coast a little bit to Fleetwood, you could've been where they shot some of one of the recent star wars series.
😁Crystal is so adorable
If i aargh ready? Aye, aye Sir !!!

There's a candy called Refreshers that is something like the hearts but also fizzing.
In my eyes best arcade in Blackpool only one i visit when i go
I live in the South of England and there's a 2p machine like the dice zombie one you were playing that i love, got a bucket of keyrings I've won over time and I was focusing so much on my keyring I didn't notice I won jackpot bonus and won like 500 tickets!!! 😂😊❤

l enjoyed this video. What was your favourite amusement in the uk
I have been to coral island lastweek
The crazy blue Dino was the one that drove under the ice while chasing them.
I dont know how you guys managed to stay so positive and happy when using our machines here which are always either broken or rigged!
best comment. i thought this while watching, too

I went there last Friday
Pirate ride where you are attacked by the Toilets sign 😅
I’m going here soon

It's always really hard to win at Blackpool 😊xx
I spottee a Yu-Gi-Oh thing
Ice been there on holiday
U guys need to show the full video of U guys getting tickets and not skipping it
Hi, from Mexico, plase visited Monterrey Nuevo Leon.
THE TWO hand thing means get it up you
The peace sign is actually the peace sign it’s the other way around that it means something else so if you put 2 fingers up outwards it’s fu but the peace sign is the same as yours
If you ever come back to UK you need to go to great Yarmouth and Skegness area they have lots arcades
You should do a vid on all the prizes update over the year ❤
Wow looks like slimmer yo
I just looked it up to see if you're right and it is derogatory in the Uk it means "up yours"
Showing the back of you hand with the peace sign 'V' is same as the middle finger, but you needs to flick it up. Not used that much, people favor using the middle finger gesture. The peace sign must be showing the palm of your hand to the person.
I love you so much 🎉❤💓❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I knew it would be Golem! My precious! LOL. Great choice. Glad you had fun.
When something falls down the side, you can ask for it.
Love corul i like money machines what do u think
Just ro let u know with the tickets u dont habe to spend them the same day ie if ur sraying in blackpool.for a while u can go away and come back a nother day with the receipt after cashing the tickets in as they dont expire so if u save the ticket receipts u can go back a nother day and keep doing that till u have loads and then get bigger and better prizes
Historically the peace sign with palms back was a sign that the archer still had figures to pull a bow string back. Now an up yours.. the bird is worse..
I was today years old when I found out the peace was a bad gesture in the UK
Not a patch on the place it once was in the 80s .but that's the way with all arcades these days
Nice 😂
Would've made more sense to get the wheel only if you get the plushie
