Agreed. Breakfast in the morning. Lunch at midday. Dinner, supper or tea in the evening. So how come the thing you take your sandwiches to school in is called a LUNCH box?

I think we have might on our side. Aren't there more people living in the geographical south of the UK than elsewhere? Anyway, as I said in Another Place, vive la regional difference! _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Mr. Ark - how do you explain the existance of the word "lunch". It clearly exists. We acknowledge your word "dinner", we just have a different meaning of it. But "lunch" must mean something. You don't get linguistic null pointers!

I was always told your main meal is called dinner, whenever it is. You're posh if you have it in the evening, or northern if you have it at lunchtime. Either way I have breakfast lunch and supper.

To really clear things up. Dinner is the main meal of the day and so can be around noon or late afternoon / evening.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Normally on my lap in front of the TV, but sometimes in the dining room.

No, you weren't. Northern Sequence: Breakfast, Brew, Brew, Lunch, Brew, Brew, TeaDinner is the word for the big meal in the day - can be either Lunch or Tea Only posh b*ggers eat supper. Brew involves a cup of tea and four biscuits. _________________Jim

It can be very difficult to judge scale from a photo
