Lunch or Dinner Time

[Andrew_P]

I have in the past subconsciously made decisions about people based on Tea/Dinner. Tea to the person who always had dinner was always a let down anticipating something with greasy chips and beans and chunks of white bread with a supersize cup of Coke to only be faced with Dinner. The disappointment must have been tangible. I have no clue where this came from as Kid in late 70's

But do kids who bring their own carry a Dinner Box?

Good question. Its usually a snap box/tin but maybe we should ask the dinner lady.

That opens up the possibility of having two dinners though, which cannot be right.

I see no problem....

Tea is a kids meal and should only be eaten by children under 12.

Eaten about 3.30 PM after school to keep them going until dinner at 6 PM.

Dinner or Scran .... as in "scrans up"

anything else is just impolite !

What do people in the South of England call the (mainly) ladies who cook and serve the midday-ish food at schools?

Dinner ladies, but the kids who don't have school dinners take a packed lunch

I think the confusion comes about because northern layabouts who don’t work have time for a main meal during the day. Those in the south only really eat a snack at lunchtime to ensure we spend time keeping the economy afloat.

The real confusion is catching a Bass to work & going for a Baarrff to get clean !

That's riding a fish & puking up North.

What’s a bus?? Is it one of those red carriages that brings the cleaners and builders across the Thames each morning?

Can we have a table for 26 please?

Erm, but there’s only 13 of you?

I know but we all want to sit on the same side.

Right, I'll be sidling off shortly to make a nice brandy, lemon and parsley sauce (with one or two other bits) for our tea...

During the week we had dinner at school (at lunch time) and then tea when we got home, late afternoon. Father had his dinner when he arrived home, after six pm, having eaten only sandwiches (at lunch time). At weekends we tended to have a light lunch at lunch time, then tea later. On Sundays dinner at lunch time. Supper if eaten would be a light snack, much later in the evening. I'm from the Midlands so maybe the terms are used much more flexibly than elsewhere, depending really on the content of the meal - if cooked = dinner, sandwich = lunch.

flexible is what i remember too, what it was called depended on what it consisted of......
