The VS Clubhouse, incidentally, scored 4/5. I know where I'd rather eat ...
We could all publish links that would show other airlines in a bad light for example you might want to read this before flying with VS

The fact is it would be ridiculous to decide not to fly with VS based on this article as it is to not eat in the BA lounges. To my knowledge there has not been any reported cases of food poisoning as a result of the consumption of BA lounge food.
I can't understand why Brits can't fly with either of our two outstanding airlines. And why so many think it is unloyal to fly with the other side. The only criticism I would have of VS is that it concentrates or relies too much on its lounges and it should focus more on the flight experience. After all most of the profitable airlines don't have lounges that come any where hear to the standard of VS so the business passengers are clearly showing that the lounge experience is at lot lower on the decision making list than reflected on this forum.
It's hard to avoid the hygeine issue really, and there was a very loud outcry over on the BA FT forum when this came out. It didn't help that there had already been loud criticism of the food quality going down the pan since BA changed supplier. So fair comment I think.
As for Virgin's focus on the soft product, long may it continue. Aside from being in the a-zone of a 744, the CH is a real pleasure to experience, especially when travelling on holiday...
