What if you have a massive fry up for breakfast and light snacks/sandwiches during the rest of the day?

Quite rare really then?:p

Either way then it would have to still be Breakfast but you'd have lunch and then tea...;)

Why do schools have Dinner Ladies at Lunch time?

Dinner can be used for both midday or evening
Lunch can only be used for midday

the main meal of the day, taken either around midday or in the evening.
• a formal evening meal, typically one in honor of a person or event.

noun
