Funny you should say that. I remember getting a letter from Virgin many years ago announcing a change to their FF program (maybe Freeway to Flying Club) and I am sure they promised Silver for life. But I couldn't find the letter, and Virgin denied ever having made such an offer.
Silver doesn't offer significant benefits, so I wasn't that bothered.
