For those of you who are unaware of the strange way we northern Brits have for naming meals, here is a quick lesson. Others who live a bit further south might not agree with me, but I'm from the north and this is how we did it! For some reason, we haven't messed with breakfast! Breakfast is the morning meal no matter where in the world you are! Dinner - this is eaten in the middle of the day. Those of you who remember school dinners can attest to this. A stodgy plate of food served by eagle-eyed, matronly dinner ladies 'I'm watching you - get that down you'! Tea - this was served late afternoon / early evening and it was usually a light meal involving a sandwich (or a drop scone if we were lucky). It had nothing to do with tea time which is what the posh people did (at some point in the afternoon) with bone china tea sets, fancy cakes and sandwiches with the crusts cut off. Supper - this is what the man of the house got when he came home from work, and was the equivalent of a dinner, normally involving meat and 2 veg, or egg and chips if it was just before payday! It was only when my parents emigrated to South Africa that I realised there was another meal called lunch, which took the place of dinner, and dinner was moved to nighttime and took the place of supper :) And when I invited friends round for tea they told me they didn't like tea, they only drank coffee!
