...what is it's official title?
Lucan, who considers himself an educated man wrongly refers to it as "dinner" whilst the sane members of our whatsapp group call it by it's correct title of "tea".

You’d never encourage anyone to eat e-number filled sugary food then? |
Not for a meal  |  |

Wil just throw this out there, when I was at school, at the beginning of the week my mum would give me "Dinner Money" to pay for my meal in the middle of the day |  | | |

This is a good point. And it was served by dinner ladies.
This has thrown a spanner in the works. | |

Just because something has a certain name it doesn't mean anything.
Potatoes are vegetables but they aren't one of your five a day. |  |

Need to come in here and say that sadly a potato is NOT in fact a vegetable. |  |

A potato is a vegetable, botanically speaking. |  |

Depends on what meal you had earlier, not temperature. If you had a roast dinner at noon then beans on toast is tea. If you had a cheese sandwich at noon, beans on toast is dinner. |  |

Nobody seems to have mentioned elevenses when describing the correct program for mealtimes.
Not sure I can fully trust any opinion shared by someone that doesn’t do elevenses. |  | | |

If it’s hot it’s “dinner” if it’s cold it’s “tea”. |
I make you right. Thank you for being the voice of sanity. And kudos to your parents for bringing you up right with some decent edumacation. |  |

They were always dinner ladies until some daft European directive insisted they be called ‘lunchtime supervisors’. Now we’re out of the EU we should revert to dinner ladies. | |

Methinks it is a generation 'thing' rather than a north/south divide. When my Dad came home from work in the 50's and 60's all he wanted was 'is tea', which we would now call dinner.
Oh and whatever happened to elevenses? | | | |

Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Genuinely not def info. There are more than 3 meal times in a day...
Breakfast up to 10am from whenever you get up
Brunch 10-12
Lunch 12-3
Afternoon tea 3-6
Dinner 6-9
Supper 9-12
Midnight feast 12-1
Anything after this is night shift territory and they can call it what they want.
My theory is that "teatime" came about as kids will have a meal after school, thus at "(afternoon) tea time" and carried that into adulthood, whereas those who don't get home til after 6pm recognise it as dinner.
Completely unscientific theory |
Early risers like myself who have breakfast before 7am might need to sneak in an extra Elevenses meal between then and lunch... |  |

Tubers are still vegetables. Sorry chief, but a potato is a vegetable. | |

Ah, but those that didn't get served their meal by the school, had taken a packed lunch instead... nobody has taken a packed dinner, have they? |  |

I love elevensers; also tensers, twelvesers, onesies, twosers, threesers, foursers, & well, any excusers to nosh at anytime of daysers, basically.
