Missed that episode.
Where did the 2 fingered salute come from then?

Originaly I believe, from Agincourt. did I read somewhere you had a degree?. not in History, I bet.;):D

2 degrees.
You missed the point. I was taught Agincourt. Mr Fry says not, so I was asking the poster what Mr Fry’s answer was.

It has been pointed out that 3 fingers are used to draw a longbow.
If the 2 V fingers were hacked, the remaining 2 would not be able to draw a bow.

The expression F off was certainly around before WW2, but I’ve no idea when the V sign was tagged to it.
