There used to be a proper china cup and cutlery too.

There was a time when the shuttle routes (MAN / BFS / GLA / EDI ) were badged as all business class; -service and crew numbers reflected this.
The only reminder of that now is that the boarding pass still shows class of travel as "C"
I don't think the cooked breakfast was in a foil tray for my particular segment, as I distinctly remember being amazed at what BA was doing on this flight of ~350 miles (1.5 hours, if that), and having a properly plated breakfast.
It was my family's first time traveling on BA (and since then we have not; last time we flew to GLA we flew DL through AMS, being based in SEA/PDX), and we gushed over the quality of service that BA provided on such a short flight, and that memory still stays with me today....
Even in Y I remember feeling like British royalty. However, that may also be attributed to the fact I was perhaps 12 at the time
