To be honest the Brand is now so devalued that it is probably good practice to give anything "Virgin" a wide berth.

That would include Virgin Active who have successfully upset our gym membership to the point that 10% of them left last month. Main reasons for escape include: imposing V-bloody everything on our beloved spin, urban rebound and body pump classes; failure to consult with us about anything, including when the Coventry school half-term was; sacking trainers who allowed their classes to fall below the V-sodding membership quota, imposing a V-menu on our excellent chef, failure to respond to complaints via the V-bloody complaints system and installing the worst gym manager since Brittas Empire.
That would not include, presumably, The Virgin Mary.
But, definitely including Richard Branson, whose empire is now 'verging' on the ridiculous.
Oh! I forgot Virgin Wines, who just sent me a corker of a mystery box of mixed wines for £89. (For corker read corked.) I just attempted to drink a promising glass of wine from the Languedoc region. I always judge the quality of wine by a simple measure. If I drink a whole bottle and still want more it is a good one. On this occasion I had trouble finishing the glass.
