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.

peace sign, it depends which way your hand is, if the back of your hand is pointing to you its peace but if its the other way its classed as swearing

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.

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

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 😁👍

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 ❤

Looks like such a fun arcade!

Awesome looking arcade.

This arcade looks so fun! Great video guys :)

What fun games in this arcade. You could spend days in there.

Who else loves plush time wins

Arrr!!! Good time !! Angel and crystal! I

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"

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

This arcade looks 🔥🔥🔥

Such an awesome prize. Looked like fun on the ride.

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! :/

Loved this arcade when we last went, awesome prize too!

Me and my kids saw you 6 years ago here at coral Island. Time flies they're now in college x

love the video

😁Crystal is so adorable

That was a great video ! Loved it. 🔥🤩🙌🏻

Loving the videos so glad you have made it to the uk 😊

I love going to Blackpool to play in the arcades well any British seaside town because its one of the few places with arcades

The pirate ship ride you used to be able to shoot those little targets you see as your going around xx

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

I have went to Blackpool a 1000 times it is my favourite ear in the UK😊❤

Awesome Ptw

Nice!!!!

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

Good vid in Blackpool thanks merry Xmas and new year both 2024

Pirate ride where you are attacked by the Toilets sign 😅

Coral island is my absolute faveourite arcade ever I love it so much xx

If i aargh ready? Aye, aye Sir !!!

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 😊

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...

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. 😏

You guys are the best

I feel like there were a lot of broken stuff at this arcade.

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

Wow that place has a ton of things wow. I would go so broke.

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 😂

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

I’m going here soon

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.

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

Nice 😂

there are so many coin pushers

In my eyes best arcade in Blackpool only one i visit when i go

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!

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

Son many memory's in this place not changed much in years

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 😁

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

Wow looks like slimmer yo

I love you so much 🎉❤💓❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

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.

The peace story sign is only offensive if the palm of the hand is facing the person getting giving the gesture

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(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.

Love Hearts candies are in Canada too.

I went there last Friday

I have been to coral island lastweek

There's a candy called Refreshers that is something like the hearts but also fizzing.

l enjoyed this video. What was your favourite amusement in the uk

It's always really hard to win at Blackpool 😊xx

Did you guys do any rollercoasters in the pleasure beach I know completely unrelated lol

I spottee a Yu-Gi-Oh thing

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.

They have actually started to move to cards!

Hi, from Mexico, plase visited Monterrey Nuevo Leon.

The crazy blue Dino was the one that drove under the ice while chasing them.

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.

You should do a vid on all the prizes update over the year ❤

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 TWO hand thing means get it up you

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 was today years old when I found out the peace was a bad gesture in the UK

I knew it would be Golem! My precious! LOL. Great choice. Glad you had fun.

Love corul i like money machines what do u think

Coral island used to be good,now very rigged ,the camel derby is about best thing in there and peggys super bar 😊

If you ever come back to UK you need to go to great Yarmouth and Skegness area they have lots arcades

U guys need to show the full video of U guys getting tickets and not skipping it

The peace sign is not bad here forwards, means the same as for you, back handed peace sign towards someone is what's bad

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.

Yes the peace sign is very offensive to a brit, its actually illegal and bunishable by beheading

We call them love hearts. Made by swizzles in Derbyshire where I am from

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

One thing ive always wondered about how do you get all the prices back home😅?

What day and time did you go? It's normally so busy you can't move.

I'm surprised you guys played as long as you did, with so many games broken, jammed and malfunctioning. the prizes were super cheap besides the branded stuff that had the pay out turned super low.

When something falls down the side, you can ask for it.

Do you know why Pirates are called 'Pirates'? Because they 'Arrghh!' 🤪

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

I just looked it up to see if you're right and it is derogatory in the Uk it means "up yours"

No way you won a lot of plushies how many did you win again
