OZ I would have to say that imho it is generally the whingers who have anything negative to say about anything. The people that enjoy the jokes and like the smiles are the ones that may only travel once or twice a year and enjoy the way it is done on Virgin. The guys and gals that are "freq flyers" would sure be sick of the jokes because they see us all as flying taxi's. They want to get to the aircraft when its about to leave, strap in, get there as fast as possible and would appreciate it if we said absolutely nothing to them so they could get an extra bit of sleeping done before getting to the office.
As far as the safety demo - I have seen this used as Virgin Flair which is what this post is about. It was done mid flight and a few willing guests got up and did there best impersonation of a trolley dolley for a few laughs. Nothing against being safe but most people in this country love taking the p*ss and realise that when the job has to be done that they are in good hands.
