Breakfast, lunch, dinner/supper, and the majority of English speaking countries agree :p

Do northerners have an hour dinner break at work?
 
Pretty sure that 'Dinner' refered/refers to the main meal of the day.

Which has now transitioned to mean afternoon/evening meal in different parts of the country.
 
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

But on a Sunday: Breakfast, Dinner/Sunday lunch, Supper.

Dinner is a main meal and a meal before is lunch and supper is after.

Tea is a drink, Afternoon tea is between lunch and dinner with a very specific menu.

At my school we didn't have dinner ladies only kitchen/waiting staff :confused:

So why do you Southerners have dinner ladies in your schools?

No matter what any of you southerners say you will always lose on this point.
For decades it was always called dinnertime and the meals were served by dinner ladies.
Even in our factories they were called dinner ladies and dinner was served at noon-ish.
You are not going to win just because you changed a word to try and be posh.

I like your repeated use of the past tense when referring to lunch as dinner. It implies that you concede that what was dinner is now lunch :cool:.
