Gentlefolk, lotharios, ladies and lounge lizards...
On the back of the "Flirty Women" thread I would like to know precisely what time does "tea time" occur in your particular quadrant of the British Isles? 🥘 🥗 🫖 |

Depends what day it is and if I've eaten that day.
Like today, I haven't eaten and am now going to stuff my face with whatever junk I can get my grubby hands on. It's tea time!!!

I read on the previous aforementioned thread that ‘Dinner’ was the meal in the middle of the day.
Breakfast
*option Brunch, a late breakfast, that also replaces Lunch hence the portmanteau ’Brunch’.
Lunch, middle of the day meal +-1 hour of midday
*option Teatime, compromised of Tea, sandwiches, biscuits, poss. French Fancy or something else in the Mr Kipling range.
Dinner about 6pm - can be missed if Teatime was late or someone had roast beef sandwiches when they knew a nice dinner was planned
*option Supper 8 or 9 pm - leftovers, meats (ham or chicken), nice chutney, crackers. Pickled onions. I’ll have the rest of that potato salad in the fridge |

I think this is a language thing dear Nerò. Or possibly I'm being an irritating pedantic sod.
Do you mean the timing of a cup of tea in the afternoon ?
Or an early evening meal? |

Have a slice of bread or an apple if you are hungry.

It’s never chocolate or biscuits 😞

"3pm for Afternoon tea
5:30pm for regular tea
4.25 cups for Saturday so far
And in the south it’s called dinner  "
•
Thank you my darling, that makes perfect sense.
So when does supper time commence? |

"Several times a day. Can't beat a nice cup of tea 😉 But meal time is definitely between 5-7pm 
•
So tea time and meal times are two different things?  "
Let me clarify. Every cup of tea is tea time. The evening meal is also called tea.
Breakfast
Elevenses
Dinner/Lunch
Afternoon tea with biscuits
Tea
Supper
Needless to say all the above include a cup of tea ☕

"Tea time is between 6pm and 8pm.
Where are you gonna take me for tea, Nero?

To the Westbury Hotel. It was going to be Claridges but one point deducted for saying "gonna" and not "going to". 😘"
Just 1 point? You're becoming far more tolerant of me in your old age. |

"About 6pm in Welsh Wales
Dinnertime conversely is between 12 and 1pm, also in Welsh Wales
•
This is intriguing: is there a Scottish Wales compared to Welsh Wales?❔"
Ha ha, well as you go further North yes, the Scots have seeped in, but all Celts so it's all good  |

I've noticed that the men are giving the most sensible answers. The women, as much as we revere them, could do better. ♥️❣️"
I saw your reply on the other thread. I knew what game you were playing |

"Between 6-8 usually "
This! I don't finish work till 6 so it's never before 7 on a weekday. Sometimes nearer 6pm on a weekend teatime.
Dinner is the middle ish of the day meal. Which I often skip or don't have till 3pm  |

I humbly suggest that you rename yourself from WB69 to WB78. It would serve as the perfect mnemonic for our dinner date. 🥘 🍷² |

This has always confused me …. Purely as I didn’t grow up here….. hopefully 🤞 after 22 years I’ve mastered it and understand it as between 4-6pm
Who knows if I’m right and I still don’t understand the term ‘tea time’ but I aim to learn to be more British 🇬🇧 💜💜 |

Tea time was outrageously late, never before 9pm usually as I have things to do. The teens have requested earlier feeding time and I agree so try to get it done before 7pm now. And 'time for tea' is any and all times of day for a cuppa. |

So what is the difference between High Tea and Åfternoon Teå? |
