Lunch and dinner, dinner and tea, or even lunch and tea?

How do you refer to your meals?

Traditionally it's "Lunch and Dinner" down south, "Dinner and Tea" up north, but what do you call them?

I'm from Wakefield and call them "Lunch and Dinner", as does my good lady.

Tea to me is a drink, not an evening meal.

    Lunch, dinner, tea and supper depending on time of day or type of meal. Dinner tea and supper can be interchangable for me.

    Dinner & tea.

    If I have "tea" very late, I call it supper.

    Dinner, tea and supper with tea being the main meal of the day, supper is just usually a snack.

    It used to be dinner and tea, but have turned a bit posh now, so it's lunch and tea.

    Lol quite.

    Anyway...

    Lunch and dinner unless it's a proper meal at lunch in which case we call it dinner, then the one in the evening is called... Erm... Dinner. 😕

    Lunch and dinner.

    Used to be dinner and dinner as a kid. :D

    I don't know anyone around here who calls their main evening meal "tea". I think that's mainly a Northern English thing?

    It was actually said in a poking fun way, hence the '!', as this is a bit of a perennial old chestnut.
    Ah well <shrugs>.

    Breakfast, lunch, supper.

    Happy?

    You claim you're bored of subjects like this, but here you are again, posting on what you deem a boring thread.

    Oh the mind boggles!

    Well apologies on my part for failing to pick up your jest.

    Now forgive me for asking, but are you a late eater as you call it supper? I ask out of interest as years ago I had a housemate who never ate before 8pm so always referred to it as supper.

    I eat roughly the same time but supper to me would indicate a far later meal.

    I think you're right in that supper traditionally was a light meal eaten fairly late and after the evening 'dinner' meal.
    But we've always called the main evening meal 'supper' for some reason, and eat it at about 6:30pm.

    The OP doesn't I'm afraid.

    The fact the OP is using the internet from his phone is a major breakthrough for mankind, believe me.

    I am to technology what the England football team are to World Cup success.

    I still don't even know what an android is, much to the amusement of my brother, who in fairness works in IT.
