Depends what day it is. Mon to Fri its tea, Sat and Sun its dinner due to lack of lunch.

I said tea too. I always think of dinner as being at midday-ish, kinda like when it was dinner-time when you were a school kid, so to now call the meal in the evening dinner would just confuse me.

Although, we actually eat very late compared to friends & family... eating at anywhere from 8pm onwards. We're very continental in our house ;)

the rules of the universe dictate that meals go in the following order:

breakfast >> brunch >> dinner >> afternoon tea >> tea >> supper >> 3am snack

 therefore, it is tea and anyone who says otherwise is just plain posh :p:

and no i don't live in a posh house, afternoon snack is during or just after neighbours :)

Lunch is just another name for Dinner.

i have 5 days a week, 730am getting up time. anyone who has otherwise is quite simply a git, or as i happily refer to my sport/exercise sciences housemate, doing a mickey mouse :)

dinner is usually 12-1 or 1-2, if i am lucky i can get home before neighbours starts...

I've always considered the use of "lunch" and eating a large meal at 6pm as things that the upper classes do. For me, it's:

Breakfast -> Dinner -> Tea -> Supper

Though I nearly always skip breakfast (too early to eat) and I eat tea at around 7pm - I get home around 5:40pm and start cooking at 6:00pm - so tea is effectively supper. At weekends I eat when hungry, and I try and push the boat out for Sunday Dinner.

When I stayed with friends in Scotland, we had "high tea", which was basically a late tea. I love regional variations on things.

If you have brunch during the morning your logic is all screwed. Brunch is a meal consisting of a late breakfast combined with an early lunch so you should have lunch following brunch not dinner.

We call the 6:00 pm meal tea except on Sundays when we have the Sunday Roast at that time and call it dinner. The mid-day meal is lunch but that has changed since schooldays when we called it dinner.
