For me, It has to be the first one, Imagine calling your tea, Dinner, I mean, Really.
 
Don't they have school dinner ladies down south, like we do in England?
 
It is breakfast, dinner, tea as the three main meals of the day.

I will grudgingly accept though that there are variations.

On a Sunday for instance; if you eat a roast 'dinner' at dinner time is is Sunday lunch whereas if you eat it at tea time it is Sunday dinner.

An event type meal, usually a large ish gathering, is also a dinner. A Sportsman's dinner for instance. You wouldn't go on a sportsman's tea. Or indeed a Sportsman's lunch if it were early in the day.

Apparently they do but what your average southerner does is counterpoints a dinner lady with something called a business lunch as their argument.

It's breakfast, lunch and dinner.

However, a 'Dinner Lady' serves lunch to school kids and you ask "whats for tea" when you're not sure what the missus is cooking for dinner.
 
Mines a combo of your options Matth, maybe you should have been more considerate and thought of other options?

Mine is Breakfast, Lunch, Tea.

Tbh I think I'm a combo type of guy due to living all over the place most of my life!
