If someone has asked you pop round at tea time

[MyDuvetDay]

What time are you popping round?

5pm?

5

I would ask them what time! But for me it would mean 4-5pm. No later than 6pm

I would ask them what time that was for them

4-5

Depends if they mean cup of tea / cake (I’d check but likely 4-5pm ish) or if they mean tea evening meal for eating food with them - and again I’d check as it’d depend when they ate. My sisters family with young kids would be 6pm eating so I’d get there a bit in advance, or my friends it’d be more aiming to arrive before 7.30-8 onwards.

Basically I would make no assumptions and check for an actual time.

I’d probably ask for clarification because I don’t drink tea or eat tea (I have dinner) and I eat my evening meal a lot later than most people seem to on MN.

Half five ish.

6 - 6.30

I would say, 'What sort of time would you be thinking of? Ish?'

Why yes, I am pedantic.

5

6ish so between 5:30 and 6:30

Between 5 and 6.

I’d clarify “cup of tea - time” (4pm) or tea/dinner time (5/6pm)

I would ask but expect them to say 5ish

If someone invited me round at tea time I would just respond with a yes and a simple is 5ish ok for you?

I would ask what time they want me and assume they meant a cup of tea.

I tend to eat about 7-8pm and prefer to arrive about 30 mins before eating so I'd aim for about 6:30.

Unless it's a Sunday, then it's usually a late lunch about 3-4pm so I'd arrive around 2:30pm.

Approximately 5-6pm but I would have clarified first as tea time is subjective.

4.30

To me, tea time is four o’clock. I was born at ten to four and my mother always liked to say that I arrived “just in time for tea”.
I’d have to check though, just in case tea meant dinner - in which case I’d probably go at 6-ish.

I'd think 5pm, but I always check times after the occasion when MIL said she would be coming round "before lunch" and arrived at 8am. (Yes, she was technically accurate but ...)

6pm

I’d ask them to define tea time, is it afternoon tea of cake and a cuppa or full on evening meal.
3-4 pm for the former and dinner (known as tea in some areas of the U.K. )can be from 5 pm to 8 pm

Between 4ans5
