In the South and everywhere else in the World 
Breakfast
Lunch
Tea
Dinner
Tea time being the light snack at about 4.00pm in between lunch and dinner.
Northerners, please correct your mealtimes to reflect its correct format.
Obviously, you must have it wrong because tea was not even introduced to Britain until a couple of hundred years ago.
The Countess of Sandwich introduced tea and little squares of bread with cucumber in between as a light snack in the mid-afternoon to tide over the hunger and boredom before dinner that night.
Hence, tea time at 4.00pm, not as a meal in the evening.
Thank you.  |

"Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Tea
So where does supper Go "
It’s:
Breakfast
Lunch
Afternoon tea
Dinner
Supper
Supper is a light snack if you’re still a little peckish in the evening, after dinner and before bedtime.

"In the North we say breakfast dinner and tea down south breakfast lunch dinner got to be tea dinner is midday surely "
Correct!!
And as for this ‘going out for supper’ business....
In one of his excellent books, Stuart Maconie describes how his agent invited him ‘round for supper’
He writes how he had visions of sitting in his dressing gown, eating cheese & crackers...
He is from Wigan, but given his books, l won’t hold that against him |

"Breakfast, dinner, tea, then supper around 9pm if you're still peckish.
Yes we are from the North  "
Yes, all right, Yorkshire, that’s getting a bit father North and I’m a little more scared. It’s getting darker and the sun is starting to lose its brilliance in this cold, forbidden realm.  |

Just to throw another spanner in the works. I think the names are not dependant on the time, but the size of the meal. Dinner is usually the largest meal of the day. So it can be moved to the two major positions lol. |

"I am a Northerner living in Wales, so confused now, if someone asks me out for food I have no idea when they mean
Same for me down south. It’s a different language down here  "
It means they’ll get the bits that make up a sandwich and will take you to the park for a jolly nice picnic at some point during day in order to consume said food. 
If it’s raining, you can consume the food in the car, I presume.l, with a jolly nice view, I hope. |

"Breakfast, lunch, tea for me….
but sometimes I have dinner for my lunch and sometimes I have dinner for my tea. (I usually refer to dinner as being the hot, main meal of the day!)
Mrs J x"
That means I can cover all bases when I invite you to dinner then? If I’m late, I’ll simply claim I meant the meal in the evening. |

No, it was public.
I recall that show. I wondered why it was called ‘Dinner ladies”. As Nora has said, it is now Lunch supervisors.....but of a mouthful really. |
