[Goblinchild]

Are you a person of the North?
Because it's one of those linguistic divide issues.

[EvenLessNarkyPuffin]

Yes

[ShirleyKnot]

Are you einstein1 or whatever?

I call my evening meal Susan.

[borderslass]

Evening meal is dinner.

[ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie]

YABU - just be pissed off with the entire Northern working class, why don't you? Grrrrr.

[SwearyMary]

We have tea. Sometimes we have dinner too and very occasionally we have supper. There is different tableware for each meal and we each have a proper napkin. Dinner requires at least 5 courses, Tea is usually two whilst supper is a one plate meal.

Who really gives a flying fuck? Not me

[purepurple]

YABU
It is dinner, not tea

[ThierryHenryismyBoyfriend]

YABU it is dinner!

[bemybebe]

I thought 'Tea' is a five o'clock affair and 'dinner' is a proper meal taken later in the evening (7-8ish)... Have been inviting people out for dinner as far back as I remember. Please educate an illiterate foreigner.

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Pray do tell - are you northern and/or working class?

Please tell me you're joking. I thought that was an African country.

[ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie]

Okay - I am an idiot! i read your post backwards! You are right - it IS tea!

[Niecie]

Tea is when you have your cucumber sandwiches and cupcakes. Dinner is what you eat in the evenings.

YABU

[sharbie]

my mum calls evening meal lunch

[breathing]

What is an african country?

[Nancy66]

Entree sometimes means the main course though.

[Goblinchild]

Though it was an African country? Guess that settles where you are from.

[hocuspontas]

Tea is at teatime (4/5ish)
Dinner is at dinnertime (7 -9 ish)

[SecretNutellaFix]

Depends what time it's being eaten surely?
Afternoon Tea is served between 3 and 4:30, High Tea (usually shortened to Tea) is usually served before 6 and dinner is after this time, with supper being a light snack after 8.30.
