You have dinner ladies and dinner money. They are for the meal in the middle of the day. Therefore that must be dinner time.

If a dinner lady served you a Ploughmans lunch would that create a paradox.

My wife commented this week that she thought Ron Swanson was more attractive than Chris Traeger. Good news, I think.

A lady of distinction :cool:

I go by my mum's terminology..

Dinner/lunch = 1pm
Tea = sandwiches and tea at 4pm
Supper = 6pm

-'Tea' caused much confusion at other people's houses when I was a young lad

Breakfast -> Brunch -> Luncheon -> Afternoon Tea -> Dinner -> Supper -> Midnight Snack

For those who have dinner at lunch time, what happens when someone offers you lunch? Does it blow your mind?

I call the midday meal 'lunch' or 'dinner' and the afternoon / early evening meal ~5PM 'dinner' or 'tea' ... after all you have a Sunday dinner at any time on a Sunday.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's as simple as that, I can't believe people even argue over this stuff.

Big office discussion the other day, but apparently I'm wrong as 'tea' is a hot beverage and it should be

Lunch = 12-1pm
Dinner = 5-7pm

why would you replace your dinner for a hot beverage?

Mr-White · 27 Oct 2012 at 12:13

Dinner 5-7

Dinner time to me is between 12-13:00.
Tea time is 18-19:00.

What happens when you go abroad?

"Oh, I'll just have my tea/dinner/evening meal and, WAIT A MINUTE IT IS HALF PAST 4 IN THE MORNING!"

Do you have to fly back to the UK to work out whether it's dinner time or not?

Lunch circa midday/1pm, tea is at 3pm, dinner is at 6pm.

Lunch
Supper

Dinner is what you have at dinner parties.

Breakfast > Lunch > Dinner.

One exception, having a 'Sunday Lunch'. Roast at lunchtime, then having a sandwich or such like in the evening and being referred to as 'Tea'

I'm certain I dont wait till after 5PM to have my Christmas Dinner. If youre a rich Northerner, dinner is at dinner time, 12 - 2PM.I can understand why you poor Southerners call it lunch though, because you must enjoy your Luncheon meat sandwiches at that time. At around 5-7PM we have our tea, shortened from the Southerners posh sounding High Tea.

Quite, and high tea is late afternoon, sometime before dinner.
