He'd do this all the time:  And the first time I saw it I thought nothing of it because I'm a Canuck. So I thought it was just something he made up to be unique. Years later I found this. When I read that, before I even got to the examples, I thought "Oh yeah, I remember when I read Mostly Harmless, Ford Prefect flicked V-signs at some people he hated. I thought it was some alien thing, but I guess it's a UK thing." And then I thought "Hey wait a second, Nigel..." followed by the question in the thread's title. If that was his intent, it's kind of weird if he was doing that even while he was a face, isn't it? |

I thought he was just doing a "peace" sign like a hippy or something.  |

I would imagine that he had been doing it for so long that he kept it as a face just because it was his trademark.

Yeah, I knew about that for years. I guess a lot of British people did know that as well.

Yep, he was.
I didn't realize people thought otherwise.
the Peace sign/v for victory faces the other way.
