Lady Penelope
I flew on Lady P 2 weeks ago (again, just a single sector) and you are right - I didn't notice the exterior but the interior needed a damned good clean!
Conversely the crew were fine, the food OK - though the IFE at my seat was broken. The IFE was also old with a very small screen - not the image VS like to portray.
Didn't have any particularly 'negative' feelings about the experience because of the crew, and I can't concentrate on IFE for more than 2 minutes anyway!
Wine served from a botle rather than individual bottles though....hmmm, lacks the 'personal' touch the Virgin brand is based on.
