Yes, odd isn't it. I was brought up with Dinner and Tea.

I think most people still call it Christmas Dinner even when eaten at 'Lunch' time

When did ‘Dinner’ become ‘Lunch’?

‘Tea’ become ‘Dinner’?

‘Dinner’ become ‘Supper’?

I was brought up on breakfast, dinner, tea, supper, and so did most people I knew.

If you were posh, you said ‘lunch’ instead of ‘dinner’.

All changed nowadays.

But why do we still have ‘dinner ladies’ then?
