Depends what you're eating. If it's a small meal, sandwich etc, then it's lunch. If it's a roast, it's dinner.

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

Wake up and eat dinner?

Quite rare really then?

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

Supper is when one's butler makes a little something on toast for one to eat before retiring for the night.

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

Oxford English Dictionary:

dinner |ˈdinər|
noun
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.
ORIGIN Middle English : from Old French disner (infinitive used as a noun: see dine ).

lunch |lən ch |
noun
a meal eaten in the middle of the day, typically one that is lighter or less formal than an evening meal : a vegetarian lunch | do join us for lunch.

If 12PM = Lunch as some of you say, why do schools have Dinner Ladies?

Because that's the main meal of the day for a lot of school kids. They then go home and have tea.

Breakfast - lunch - tea. It's the right way to do it. And what's with this blaming it on being Northern business, almost everyone in the thread counts as a Southerner to me (present location notwithstanding).

Lunch - Lunch

Dinner - Dinner

Evening meal is dinner.

Although in Wales it's all referred to as "food" most of the time.
ie "What time is food?/What's for food"

What are you babbling on about. It's Brecwast, Cinio, Te a Swper.

Dinner = main meal of the day so can be used for any.

Breakfast -> Dinner -> Tea. Unfortunately, since moving down south they seem to become easily confused and I have to use their lingo of Breakfast -> Lunch -> Dinner
