Quite right. *Everyone knows it's breakfast, dinner, tea and (possibly)
supper.

Cue for Clees, Barker and Corbett - in my view, one of the best satires
on the British class system of all time - and the competition is strong.

This depends on your life style, Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon tea, High
Tea, Dinner, Supper.
If you have afternon tea then you tend to go to Dinner, but if you
have Lunch then High Tea at around 6pm then you follow with Supper
just before bed time.
And if the staff are off for the night then you get what you can when
you can.
And it's a bugger having to dress for dinner when you can't get your
wellies off.
I know if I eat early in the evening then I need Supper if I am going
to sleep well.
But who cares, whats in a name, it's the food that counts.
