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.

If I have "tea" very late, I call it supper.
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. 😕
If the subject matter doesn't interest you, either look for ones that do, or enlighten the rest of us with an amazing subject of YOUR choice.
Simples!
Used to be dinner and dinner as a kid.
I don't know anyone around here who calls their main evening meal "tea". I think that's mainly a Northern English thing?
Well for those of us who haven't seen the other 247 posts relating to this, do you care to join in or are you just here to make a sarcastic point, like you do so well on other posts?
I know, this means it must nearly be time for a TV Licence thread.
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!
249th, so sorry for being pedantic
For the thread
Lunch unless you have had Brunch and then Dinner later in the evening here
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.
Tea is at 5pm everyone knows that
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.

I've no idea how to do one Nate
