    Do you eat during the day;

    Breakfast


    Lunch



    Dinner

    (The correct way)

    Or


    Breakfast



    Dinner



    Tea



    I've been having this dispute which reared its head again last night on the back of a buzz feed list
    http://www.buzzfeed.com/kellyoakes/alright-our-kid?s=mobile#2gxqsny


    Anyway all your enlightened thoughts on the correct terminology for our meals would be appreciated. <ok>

    This arguement has only been simmering for 2 years now.. I'm beginning to think perhaps it's a northern thing.


    Though sometimes I do refer to my evening meal as tea depends what I make... Lunch is still lunch.

    Breakfast, Lunch then Tea, never use the word dinner, mainly because it causes too much hassle, you just have to look back to the Dinner Riots of the early 50s to realise this.

    Who ever phoned a restaurant to make a tea reservation? Nobody. It's called dinner.

    If you want to see a really big argument put Channel 5 now on to see Neil Ruddock's new wife have a meltdown when the Bailiffs arrive.

    Breakfast (even though it's just a couple of rollies and a bottle of water)
    Lunch (a sandwich)
    Dinner (beer)

    Anyone that calls dinner 'tea' is a raging northern ***** <ok>

    For me you don't eat dinner at lunch time.

    Who had lunch ladies at school? Nobody, therefore THAT is dinner.

    You go home from school for your tea, fact.
