Dinner or Tea? Is this a north/south divide or just how you're brought up?

Dinner.

Lunch at lunchtime..dinner at dinner time and tea for drinking lol

...I'm from dahn Sarf

One of my closest friends is from Durham and she says tea. I say dinner. That's fine, but I'm not keen on lunch being called dinner, because it's confusing.

It depends if its mon to fri after work its tea if your dinning out its dinner so this includes evening meals whilst on holiday, if I am at Bc's its dinner

Well Teresa in our house it has always been known as Dinner, does that mean I'm posh. ;-)

Carol

well Carol if is the same as muffy posh its delusions of grandeur ....or at work I caall it me lunch break or fag break same thing :-D

Dinner at 12-2 ish ( as in school dinners) Tea in the evening,

brought up with that, but now inclined to say lunch, just because I have lived in the south.

pmsl..delusions of grandeur my a*** !!! lol x

Dinner for me.But when I was young it was Tea.My friend calls it Supper(but he is dead posh) lol.

Same thing Hayley :-D

yeah but only been smoking half of it Wend I am on a diet ;-)

Funny you should mention school dinners...because those kids who take sandwiches don't call it packed dinner, it's packed lunch.

I think many of us call the evening meal Tea because it used to be tea, or high tea lol. My Gran brought me up to have lunch which was a two-course cooked meal, and tea, which was bread, cakes etc. But we always have our cooked meal in the evening, but still call it tea, unless as Hayley said, it's eaten out, then it's dinner. (or if you have guests maybe, the dinner party soiree).

Exceptions to this are if eating out is fish n chips before the pub, in which case it's still tea, even if it's eaten in the chip shop restaurant. :-S

breakfast , lunch , dinner for me
but I have known tea at 5pmish and dinner at 9ish (that was when I was at boarding school)

but to me the evening meal is dinner

Dinner is my main meal of the day,
if l eat my dinner early then l have tea later then if l eat my dinner later l have lunch at lunch time........... :-P

There's a split in our place, I say sandwich (or sarnie), he says butties.

If it's got bacon in it's a buttie as far as I'm concerned.

And in answer to Hayley's next question...Baps.

sandwich unless it has chips in, then it's a chip butty :-D

Sandwich. x
