Crumpets?
They're old school darling.
Probably back in vogue now, because they are cheap chic chick.

Have never really been passe, because they have an even spread through the classes. Nanny would make them for Nursery Tea for the upper crust.
Grandma would provide them for High Teas in the farmhouse - middle class landowners, but with daughters who are lawyers, and doctors.
And my class of people, whose Mums would buy them from Iceland (supermarket, not country) because they're only 69p.

We were a cut above though - important at the bottom of the heap - we had ours slathered in butter, not margarine.
