@Tim_McTuffty @actuallyautistic I enjoyed our MH conversation immensely! Feel free to practice what you’ve learned at me anytime.
I have been meaning to ask about the “tea” that you mention often. Is that also a meal or an afternoon snack? I’m not sure what the proper place it holds in the day. Is it like a hobbit’s second breakfast but second lunch?
@UnclePJ @actuallyautistic I shall & thanks for the offer PJ 😊
Tea is a bit of a strange one, it can mean afternoon tea - so tea & sarnie & a bun around 4pm.
But where I grew up on the edge of Lancashire & Merseyside it means the evening meal, ‘dinner’ being seen as an alternative word for ‘lunch’ in those parts.
I suspect that it is also class based - I’ve never risen into the upper echelons of society so I’m not sure if they follow the same use of language.

@Tim_McTuffty @UnclePJ @actuallyautistic we have the same words for meals, breakfast dinner and tea. It's a northern thing I guess!
@sleepingexplorer @Tim_McTuffty @UnclePJ @actuallyautistic And here it's breakfast, lunch, and dinner--it's the U.S., so teatime doesn't exist unless specific individuals follow the practice.
