Depends if you have your main meal in the middle of the day or the evening, eg

breakfast - (obviously) morning
lunch - mid morning
dinner - evening

But on a Sunday for instance..................

breakfast - morning
dinner - (Sunday roast) 1pm'ish
tea - 5pm

Speaks the truth, but a roast dinner on sunday can also be at lunchtime. Only exception

Tea is a drink brewed from a teabag, not a goddamn meal !!!

Well from that set of rules:

Lunch = Lunch
Therefore, Dinner = Dinner

They are names for meals in the day. There is clearly regional and personal variation. Your definition is not universally correct, so SHUT UP! :mad:

Tea - its served around 5 - tea/cakes/biscuits or a light meal served late in in the afternoon - it is not the same thing as dinner.

The term 'tea' instead of dinner is a lower class/northern expression.

I am from the south and I call it both Tea and Dinner. What does it matter anyway? Its all going to end up in the sewer.

It blatently depends on whether the the midday meal is your main meal of the day of not

Example 1 - Sandwich at midday

Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner

Example 2 - Big meal at midday

Breakfast
Dinner
Tea

Or am I just wierd?

See although I would call it a roast, if I had to pick lunch/dinner, it would be a sunday dinner.
