Interesting. I’d always assumed it was a class thing and that, historically at least, working class people in this country, regardless of region, said dinner and tea and the middle classes said lunch and dinner. When watching episodes of Eastenders from the 1980s, Pauline Fowler prepares Arthur’s evening meal, a meal she calls tea.

 

Nowadays, I see and hear so many people, Northerners and Southerners, referring to their midday meal as lunch. I just assumed this was another Americanism that had crept in.

Not my experience at all. I've given the 80% example of lunchers in MK whereas when o went to uni in Preston I'd say it was 80% the other way.

I don't say tea though I say Dinner as evening meal. My point was if posh cricketers say tea is it really a class thing?

I was always under the impression that when cricketers refer to "tea" they mean actual tea, like a cup of tea. With cucumber sandwiches and little cakes on those three tiered stands. Afternoon tea. 

 

So yeah, that would be a class thing.

Yes, it's like afternoon tea or high tea.  "High tea" is a term that crops up in the Madeleine McCann case.  Enough said.

I maintain its regional though with plenty of exceptions like the one Tony provided. It's said that everyone in Liverpool says Dinner and Tea but does that mean all Scousers are working class? Milton Keynes is a new city so has lots of influences from around the country but 80%+ would say lunch over dinner.

 

Not that any of that matters anyway, I mean who the fuck knows what class they are in today's society. Some may look at my double barrelled name, vegetarianism and my living in the Home counties as the trifecta of middle class bingo but I spent part of my childhood living in squats and a shared house with 4+ non sibling other children, family never had a car, my Northerner dad's job on my birth certificate says road sweeper. What the fuck does this make me? 

Deffo middle class.

When I was a kid, my lunch box was a paper bag with my sandwiches wrapped in greaseproof paper.

When my dad was off to work he used to be given the same by my mum. It was called 'carry out'.

 

There was a thread on the GF a few years ago about mealtime names.

 

Morning meal = breakfast.

 

Afternoon meal = Dinner

 

Evening meal = Tea

I worked in a bank in Kirkby throughout most of the Eighties alongside a girl who I never saw bring anything to eat for dinner other than one piece of bread with cheese on, cut into two tiny squares.

I'd make a deposit into her account.

I just saw a post on Reddit saying that the world's smallest sandwich would be one protein atom between two carbohydrate atoms, maybe this is what she was aiming for.

People who have bonfires during nice weather. Fucking bellends when everyone is sitting in their garden or putting clothes on the washing line. Have them in the winter when everyone is indoors. Twats.

This.

 

Some people have an obsession with bonfires, fucking weirdos
