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.
