This is a Leeds forum. *hoistspinny* I don't think it is the font of all knowledge, but it does give an idea of the entomology of the word.It also offers a good indication as to why dinner is now what some people call their evening meal. It is still of course what I am eating now, being quarter to 2 in the afternoon, and not tea time!

Breakfast, dinner, tea. You can't have your dinner at tea-time as tea-time would then be dinner-time, but dinner-time is mid-day and not evening. And if you had your dinner at tea-time what would you have at dinner-time?
