There is no winning 'answer' - people call it different things; nobody is right.

Depends where you are, there is no set answer.

For me in the south East it's lunch, or on weekends brunch.

If you ask me dinner (and then tea later) If you ask DH lunch (and then dinner later) Obviously I am right though and it is dinner Wink

Patriciathestripper1 · 19/03/2017 21:35

Dinner.
Up north we had breakfast 8.30 ish, Dinner 12.30ish and Tea 5.30ish.
Dh (down south) had breakfast, lunch and dinner. Anything eaten after 7pm was supper but he's a posh twat

Breakfast, lunch and supper. If you go out in the evening it is dinner.

I tell the kids their lunch is ready, they tell me it's their dinner.

I'm the evenings I tell them their dinner is ready and they tell me it's their tea.

It's like a long running bad dad joke.

UsedToBeAPaxmanFan · 19/03/2017 21:36

Lunch. But 12 noon is very early. Lunch is usually around 1pm. Dinner is in the evening.

TodaysFishIsTroutALaCreme · 19/03/2017 21:37

One of us is in Wales, one in northern England and the other in Brisbane.

None of us can agree

It's lunch

RainbowJack · 19/03/2017 21:37

Lunch.

armpitz · 19/03/2017 21:37

If it's a hot meal it's dinner.

Sandwich and fruit and stuff is lunch :)

PavoReal · 19/03/2017 21:37

Until I was 18, dinner. Then moved southwards and it slowly turned into lunch so as not to confuse folk.

LuckyLuckyMe · 19/03/2017 21:37

It depends on whether we are having something light like soup or a sandwich or if it's the main meal of the day.

SmitheringSmithison · 19/03/2017 21:37

Dinner

DontBuyANewMumCashmere · 19/03/2017 21:37

I would say lunch but if it's a big meal like a roast then it'd be dinner. Then the evening meal that night would be tea. Otherwise (after a lunch) it'd be dinner. Phew.
