Many years ago whilst at a exhibition in London I went to a restaurant called 'School Dinners' - what an eye opener that was :o
 
Its tea in our house - but we sometimes get invited to or go out for dinner

Im sure its a north south thing
 
Lunch at 'lunchtime', usually 12:00 - 1:00
dinner in evening (around 7)
Tea at 5-ish

Oh, and kebab-o'clock is around 2am......

Tea Etiquette

The traditional time for afternoon tea is four o'clock. Today, most hotels and tearooms serve from three to five o'clock with the hours often stretched slightly in either direction. Along with a choice of teas, there are three distinct courses:

savones (tiny sandwiches) first to blunt the appetite,
then scones, and finally,
pastries.
Afternoon tea has also been called "low tea" because it was taken at low tables placed beside armchairs. (It's never properly referred to as "high tea".)

invitations

Invitations may be extended and accepted by telephone, face-to-face, or by mailing them at least a week in advance. Depending on the geographic location, perhaps two weeks or longer in advance is not unreasonable. Invitations may be informal or engraved, handwritten in calligraphy, or by a calligraphy computer program.

Invite a close friend or two also as "pourers" and set up a schedule of when each will be "on duty" dispensing tea. No one should pour for more than fifteen or twenty minutes. It is an honor to be asked to pour tea. The pourer is considered the guardian of the teapot, 'which implies sterling social graces and profound trust.

teatime

Traditional teatime is four o'clock; however any time between two and five o'clock is appropriate for certain areas.

didn't read pages 2 & 3, so if it's been covered...

i say dinner is the larger meal of the day.

if you have your dinner in the middle of the day, you have a lighter meal in the evening; tea.

if you have a lighter meal in the middle of the day, lunch, you have dinner in the evening...

sorry, didn't vote as it wasn't an option.. :)

Like this - makes complete sense to me! Mind I always say - what's for tea? when discussing the evening meal.... :tumbleweed:
 
Generally Tea Time after the news and if it's a meal out later in the evening, then dinner or evening meal :D
