Hmm this is causing me problems i wanted to put a question up for your afternoon meal but could only describle it as lunch time but lunch is such a noncy word so maybe your right about that.But Tea time will always be tea time.

i've been having this argument with my parents for a while! i used to say what's for tea to my grandparents and they'd be like 'you want a cup of tea?!'  so i changed to calling it dinner, but the rest of my family call lunch dinner! all very confusing for me it's lunch and then dinner.  |

The UK In the United Kingdom, dinner traditionally meant the main meal of the day. Because of differences in custom as to when this meal was taken, dinner might mean the evening meal (typically in the higher social classes) or the midday meal ( typically in lower social classes, who may describe their evening meal as tea). There is sometimes snobbery and reverse snobbery about which meaning is used. Large formal evening meals are invariably described as dinners (hence, also, the term dinner jacket which is a form of evening dress). School dinners is a British phrase for school lunches blue collar till I die! |

I have lunch, then tea. Does this mean I'm posh at lunch time then slide down the social scale in the evening? Or just that I'm confused,as usual?

Teatime is the evening meal. Dinnertime is the afternoon main meal on Sunday and lunchtime is a pack of curled up sandwiches at middayduring the week.
