Dinner is a more formal type of supper. Tea is an infusion hailing from India, possibly served with cake or biscuits.

Tea is a drink that can be had with any meal, whatever the time of day. Even with your tea.

Supper is the meal you have after coming home from the pub and cannot be eaten before 10 pm.

I'm not sure I could eat kebabs every night.

Tea is a drink that can be had with any meal, whatever the time of day. Even with your tea.

Tea should only be drunk at meal times when you're tucking into a Full English in a cafe with building professionals. Add three sugars please.

You mean I have to have a "Full English" with every meal?

You think we're bad. The French have breakfast at lunch (déjeuner) but, realising how silly that is, have a little breakfast before that.

Not to mention that afternoon tea is called " a 4 o'clock" in French. ( un 4 heures ).

You're allowed tea if accompanied by biscuits or a piece of cake (and possibly cucumber sandwiches) Otherwise, you are obliged to have a Full English.

I hope this clarifies matters.

When I was growing up, it was always:
Breakfast
Elevenses
Lunch
Teatime
Dinner
Supper

I tend to go with every other one these days, skipping Elevenses, Teatime & Supper.

Lunch is a light meal like a plate of sandwiches with a little salad followed by cake and lashings of tea, whereas dinner is a proper cooked meal, hence school dinners, Sunday lunch, Sunday dinner. The same goes for tea as a meal in the evening, if it's cooked and substantial it is dinner, not tea

Agree supper is late evening after having been out pub etc.

Dinner is the largest meal of the day, eaten between noon and 2 pm. If the consumer is travelling it may be replaced by lunch. The word Lunch is always preceded by packed and denotes a sandwich of plastic ham or cheese on cheap vinegary bread, a cannonball pork pie, a chocolate biscuit, a cotton wool apple (no other fruit or vegetables are allowed) and a can of sweet fizzy pop.

 

[Beebo]

If you take a sandwich and crisps to work it’s a packed lunch not a packed dinner.

TBH its 'Food' or 'tea' shouted as loud as you can because the adult children are gaming with noise cancelling headphones.

Feck it I feel as im the idiot that cooks after cycle commuting. Oh your traffic was hard, sat on your ass.

Ever considered kicking them out?

Presumably the dog gets its own brunch.
