So, if I have a fry up at 6pm, it's breakfast?

Yes if you have just got up out of bed.

Here’s a challenge. Go find me a link to a nice restaurant that has a dinner menu for the middle of the day or a tea menu for the end of the day?

[QUOTE 5179113, member: 45"]In a restaurant that's known as an all-day breakfast. So, yes, possibly.
My education ongoing in this thread will be limited, as it appears there may be some money for me to make.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but not a lot of money. You want to attract those who think nothing of paying a fiver for a hot drink, and that tends to be mostly those who say "mum" .
I speak a distinctly regional variant, and I say mum. Also mothers day is a secular day in May, not some repurposed religious holiday in Lent

[QUOTE 5179122, member: 45"]Can you not get main meals in the middle of the day in restaurants? Yes? That's what's called a dinner.
Those poncey restaurants you're talking about aren't likely to do crushed avocado and armadillo panini in the evening as they all eat dinner after dark and have their light meal (that's lunch) in the middle of the day.
Anything else?[/QUOTE]
There are many restaurants with proper cooked decent meals on what is called the lunch menu as it’s served during the day.
Fir example, the menus at The Ritz. It has a lunch menu that isn’t 3 cans of special brew and a pastie, but a proper meal.
I think the difficulty is clearly your idea of a good restaurant is one that uses plastic forks instead of wooden for the chips.

Ok. A restaurant if I ever had to go to (sick in my mouth) Manchester again looks nice. Dinner menu served.....

it's definitely Mum here... but the east Lancs leg of my family tend to say Mam (not to be confused with Ma'am).. My best mate when I was kid wasn't allowed to call his mother mum, mam. or mom... she thought such words were common and insisted on mummy or mother, even when he was 10/12 years old. I'm not sure what they say down south... i tend to close my ears the moment they open their mouths.
