LOL, here you go, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_(meal)

 

"Tea (also known as high tea or meat tea) is one name for the evening meal. It is associated with the working class and is typically eaten between 5 pm and 7 pm. In the North of England, North and South Wales, the English Midlands, Scotland and in rural and working class areas of Ireland, people traditionally call their midday meal dinner and their evening meal tea (served around 6 pm), whereas the upper social classes would call the midday meal lunch or luncheon and the evening meal (served after 7 pm) dinner (if formal) or supper (often eaten later in the evening). This differentiation in usage is one of the classic social markers of British English (see U and non-U English)."

Northerners don't have lunch gnash,

We have breakfast dinner and tea.

But yeah, it's a class thing. Traditional working class have dinner and tea. Traditional middle class have lunch and dinner.

 

Same in Norfolk...at school we had Dinner ladys not lunch ladys

..if you watch anymore TV, your eyes will go square and you'll grow little buttons down the side of your face..

 

Yep, the days of having to walk to the TV to change between the 4 channels available. Only we could choose from just 2, as Mum didn't like ITV or channel 4, so she superglued the buttons for those stations so they wouldn't move. Shame she didn't realise that we just re-tuned stations 8 and 9 to ITV and channel 4...

 

and what about not driving on Dartmoor after dusk, for fear of being got by the Hairy Hand ? Devon teenagers today have no respect for the Hairy Hand.
