Thats the origins of it. The English longbow men showing the V to the French.

Now that everyone is awre of the historical perspective of the 'two finger salute' can anyone enlighten me as to the origins of a single finger the Americans are so fond of. What Goose calls 'The Bird' in TopGun?

Out of the LA show I would have put 6 or 7 pieces above this one. if it is Banksy in the image as suggested by others that might explain why he loves it so much - they go back quite a long way together by all acounts.
Never met Mr Banks but should I bump into him near Bolton market I bet you he won't be wearing no Saville Row suit

I think... although I'm not sure, it's from Ancient Rome or Greece (Rome I think) I remember discussing it in Latin class at school. The origins have been lost over time but it's been an insult for thousands of years

actually the French/English archer thing is bogus... but made a good story. there is no real historical fact to back it up, though I don't really think wiki is the most believeable source...

Got this from a google search:
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger, it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore be incapable of fighting in the future.
This famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew." Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, "See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!"
Over the years, some 'folk etymologies' have grown up around this symbolic gesture. Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say (like "pleasant mother pheasant plucker", which is who you had to go to for the feathers used on the arrows for the longbow), the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter.
It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows that the symbolic gesture is known as "flipping the bird".

I give up.
No point staring at POW waiting for the next Banksy, I might as well get some work done and resign myself to the fact that I need to find loads more money to get one on ebay.
