You can get around the dinner/supper/tea confusion by simply announcing IT IS TIME TO CONSUME.

Morning meal = breakfast
Mid day meal = lunch
Evening meal = tea
Sweet after tea = pudding

Cup of tea = cup of tea.

Tea isn't an evening meal, that's dinner, tea is at like 3 pm when you have some cake and a cup of tea.

If I'm having some cake or something yeah.

It isn't a regular thing usually it's only when we go to the wife's name but still around then is tea time where you have cake and tea.

It's odd for me because even though I know it's the other way around, tea sounds posh and dinner sounds common. I think it's the way the words form at the end, especially because in this area people say 'dinn-ah' :dread:, whereas tea ends with a rather quaint 'ee' sound.

I've probably thought about this too much.

We could use its results to determine who gets thrown off the boat when Brexit goes into effect. :nod:

The poll is set but I'm not happy about the question so if anyone has a more eloquent way to phrase it then by all means let me know and I'll change it to something less gooseberry fool.

Breakfast
Lunch
Tea/Dinner (You stay in for tea, or go out for dinner)
Supper (like a little pre-bedtime snack)

Or a steaming hot cup of dinner.

I thought of something else that I've only heard of British people doing, using stone as a measure of weight.

As if imperial isn't bad enough you need to complicate it even further :dread:
