For the record, those of you who say tea - when going out on a date are you taking/being taken to 'tea' or are you going out for DINNER?

Can anybody out there hear me? 'Cause I can't seem to hear myself
Can anybody out there see me? 'Cause I can't seem to see myself...

Can anybody out there feel me? 'Cause I can't seem to feel myself

The main meal of the day is dinner.
If dinner's in the middle of the day, the light evening meal is tea.
If dinner's in the evening, the light midday(ish) meal is lunch.
Here endeth the lesson.

Does it make a difference if your northern or southern? Does that effect it?

It certainly does. If I was Southern, it would take ages to get home for my dinner/tea, as I work in Liverpool.

But yes it does - ive never known any southerner to say tea, with the exception of primary school children who invite friends home for tea - thats the only context ive ever heard it in.
