supper is something to eat between teatime and bed for me

Whenever we have the main meal it is Dinner so evenings mostly but in the day on Sundays which is when we have tea later (it being a light snack). Otherwise the meal in the middle of the day is lunch.

tea is a drink. dinner is the evening meal, suppers for greedy people who want to eat between dinner and bedtime

tbh my evening meal is usually breakfast but if I'm eating at normal times then the evening meal is dinner. People who use the term tea for it are poor

LOL:D

Tea was a actually a term used by the middle to upper classes and High Tea traditionally used by the working population.
It then devolved into tea. I don't actually think it matters much.

I normally call it tea but I will occasionally call it dinner.
