Tea?

[Smithbat]

Well, I continued riding to and from work until it got too icy. I lost two stone doing it but I was scared of falling off in the ice so I put my bike away for the winter. Now the frosts have gone, I have saved my pennies and got a brand new hybrid with flappy paddle gears which I find confusing.

Other than that, same old really, work, Guides and family stuff. Hows you?

So what would you say if you invited your partner out for a an evening meal in a restaurant? Would that be called tea? Its all got confused as far as I'm concerned. My son's girlfriend calls the evening meal 'tea'. My kids call it dinner. I used to call it tea. The only definite thing is breakfast. Everyone knows what that means!

Take Mrs Stephec out and spend money on something that's no better than I can do myself? - unless I spend a lot of money that is.

Then we'd be going out for a meal.

We had dinner out on Saturday afternoon, cheese garlic bread and chips in Wetherspoons in Manchester.

Any meal eaten after tea would be supper!
That from working class, who's often had breakfast before going to bed, and dinner when I've got up and had my tea.

Yes. Same as me. As a kid supper was anything after tea. But I've known (posh) people to use that word to mean the main meal eaten in the evening. They would say 'would you like to come for supper?'. Fascinating really!

Fascinating.

Be even better if breakfast was included as well.

If you didn't have flappy paddles before what were you using?

My poor little mind is boggling over flappy paddles...

Mmm baby yeah, how do you like your eggs?

 

[stephec]

That's because you haven't got any flappy bits.
