Time for Tea?
The meal you have around 6pm every night is called by many names. In the north a lot of folk call it "Tea" whereas in the South it is called "dinner".
What do you call it?

Re: Time for Tea?
What about a roast on a Sunday at around midday.
Would that be Sunday Dinner or Sunday lunch or either?

Re: Time for Tea?
Both, interchangeably ... I always saw them as meaning the same. I voted 'tea' as I probably use that more often.

Dinner or Lunch - both are the same to me - the day of the week has no bearing on the name here.

Re: Time for Tea?
Tea - from high tea, light afternoon meal 4pm - 6pm
Dinner - formal evening meal 6-8
lunch - lunch
When I was young, it was always Breakfast-dinner-tea-supper (if we were lucky)
