Its dinner at dinner time & tea at teatime :)

I like to confuse southerners by asking for a brew & the expression is:confused: LOL

Re: Dinner or Tea
 

I once had to explain to a vicars wife that when she was offered a 'brew' we meant tea or coffee not beer.
I am constantly ribbed for saying things are in th'oven.
While new to Manchester & running a pub I put up a notice saying chip tcakes & it was a week later i found out nobody asked for them because they thought they had currants in.:o Once I changed the sign to chip barms I sold loads. To say we are only 40 minutes away from manchester they don't half talk funny :)

Shame on you, Less - toilet paper indeed. It's lavatory paper.

Must admit, we do have dinner at home. When I was a child, we had tea, but only if it was just tea, bread & butter, cakes, etc. If you had a meal, it was high tea.

I do hate the word "serviette" too. And I taught both my children never to say "Pardon?" if they hadn't heard something. They just say "What?".

Try using the other hand. If your abnormal bend is still causing you difficulties consult your GP, as you may need corrective surgery.

Re: Dinner or Tea
 

It varies with me at home its dinner and tea, at work its lunch, and if we go out to eat in the evening its dinner! I'm not sure about the pardon thing, I hate Ellie saying "what", maybe its just because she says it all the time even when she's heard me!

Re: Dinner or Tea
 

Being a southerner I was always taught breafast, lunch and dinner, but now I am up North I have got used to the term 'tea' but really that means tea & stickies on the lawn dahling! cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut awff! but now I get a butty! oh yes & the brew thing was totally weird to me.........as was gravy on chips? whats all that about? and the fact that if you went into a chip shop up here you didn't have to specify what fish you wanted it was just 'fish'!

I have relatives in Leicester and you cant get dabs there!

Re: Dinner or Tea
 

When I was at home it was breakfast, dinner and tea. When I moved out of home it changed to breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Lavatory is toilet, or sometimes the bog, and any terms you can think of if misheard, ie eh? what? or an expressive grunt sometimes does the trick!

Tea is the term for the warm brown stuff wot I drink!
