When I was young & lived in the North I used to say Dinner & Tea but as an adult living in London I began to use Lunch & Dinner - so maybe it's a north/south thing?

Lunch, Dinner and then Supper! And I'm in Scotland. When I was a kid, it was Dinner at lunch time - as in school dinners (now known as school lunch), we then had tea, because we ate at about 5pm - I always think of dinner as a later meal. We always have supper before bed though! If we go out for an early meal, I will always call it tea just to confuse the issue.

Lunch - Dinner

[ruby27]

dinner and tea when at school
lunch and dinner when not at school.
Supper is a late night snack
brunch at weekends and evening munchies or what are we having for munchies tonight?

Are you doing some research?
What have we revealed by our answers?

Oh Prophet- we always have supper - even if we have had Dinner or Tea.

[chitchat]

Definately dinner and tea for me!

Lunch & dinner.

Here in the US it's always Lunch for noonish meal.
I say dinner for the evening meal. Anywhere from 5pm and later. I find that Supper is used for the evening meal by the lower classes here.

However, Sunday Dinner could mean a large hot meal at 1:00pm or so, like after church.

Well that's the norm but I'm living with a northerner at the moment and it's starting to rub off on me... I don't appear to have dinner any more, just tea. I want immigration to start looking at the watford gap, they're letting just anyone in these days.

I have noticed that a certain type of person uses "supper" for the evening meal. Do you know what I mean? I myself say lunch for midday meal and dinner for evening meal. Growing up, supper meant anything you ate after dinner, like cereal if you were still hungry. Tea referred to cake and sarnies at 5pm if you had eaten your main meal at lunchtime. The best one was when we went round to my friend's house and his Dad said "he won't be long, he's just having his hot tea."
HAHA!

Using the word tea at dinner time is common.

[flip_flop]

Common as in he/she's a bit common, not common as in widespread.
