Well, if you lot are confused about 'tea' 'supper' 'dinner' etc- how are we furiners supposed to know what's what ???
I'd been living in England for about 4 years when we moved to East Leics- and after a few weeks I invited the wife of OH's colleague and kids for tea. I made a cake and some biscuits, and served tea and juice - kids were having fun- but they were staying a bit longer than I expected- then the little girl blurted out 'but mummy, when are we going to have teeaaa?'- I loked at the mum and she realised I had not realised what 'tea' meant in the Midlands- she explained and we had a good laugh about it. Put on some fish fingers under the grill and made mash pots and peas- and they were all fed and happy.
