>>Sinced I moved from the East Coast of the U.S. to the West several years ago, >>certain regional differences have puzzled me. >>Are there differences that plague your curiousity? > > Breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper In England, (Surprise Surprise) this is a class issue.! The working class have their Dinner around midday while the upper class are having Lunch. The middle & Upper classes have Tea , which consists of tea and finely cut sandwiches, at about 4.30 Even Cricket Test Matches stop for Tea! The Working Class have supper in early evening, traditionally bread and dripping, while the middle and upper classes are probably having something called 'High Tea' - the last time the parents will see their children for that day The Working Class are huddled in bed trying to keep warm while the Upper and Middles start ther Dinner at about 8pm At least that's how it used to be before TV Dinners !.
