" "Here is some Spaghetti Bolognese and garlic bread" I'm sorry.. where is the downside in this conversation? You either get a cup of tea or a succulent Italian dish. You're really proving our point here, I am starting to see why the Prof is forever coming up Milhouse, tbqphwy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Why would you drink a hot drink with (probably) milk in it if you were thirsty? That'll be an English thing (and perhaps Welsh) as the rest of us have perfectly drinkable tap water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jives Miguel Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) The dinner thing is a strange one. "dinner time", "school dinner", "dinner lady" all commonly used terms in school in the west of Scotland to refer to lunch. Despite that I would NEVER use lunch and dinner interchangeably, dinner means your evening meal and only your evening meal Breakfast Lunch Dinner/tea Edited April 11 by Jives Miguel 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clangers Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Woken up this morning (I work nights) by the open reach guy banging the door, we are changing provider. He had spoken to my wife who thought it best that he wakes me up incase he needs to drill the wall which might wake me up and confused me! As it turns out I was back asleep in seconds and the kids say he did drill the wall but I slept through it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afternoon tea is taken around three and is a pot of tea with light savoury snacks and cake. high tea around 4.30 to five, usually a lighter meal which can be combined with a later supper to substitute for the more urbane dinner, taken around 6.30 to 7.30. (“Dinner” is often used as a synonym for lunch. This used to be the preserve of the lower orders but standards have dropped and it’s entered common usage in polite society.) I feel like elevenses and brunch have been sadly underrepresented in this pointless debate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like elevenses and brunch have been sadly underrepresented in this pointless debate. Whether it's high tea or afternoon tea (originally afternoon tea was taken around 4pm b.t.w.) the point stands - tea is a short form for afternoon/high tea so perfectly reasonable to take it around 4:30pm or 5pm. Elevenses and brunch - there's a can of worms being opened right there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 If I'm working night shifts and sleep all day, what's the meal I eat before leaving for work? I refer to my midnight meal as "lunch", if that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
