Why do I say Dinner on Sunday when we have it at 4pm..and tea weekdays?

[Bobbisox]

Funny we call it dinner on Sundays and tea through the week oop Norf anyway..lol, maybe it is because our habits have changed over the years?
We always had Sunday Dinner at 12 noon when I was a kid, then scones and cake at tea time which was about 5ish..
Now we have our Sunday roast when we like and there's no set time to eat, is it because Sunday is now like any other day...shame really.

I think it's probably down to what we are used to Bobbi. The Sunday Dinner leftovers were fried in the Pan for a very tasty supper. Making me hungry now thinking of those fried tatties !! :-))

Corse yous is posh bobbi

Until my kids left home we had a sit down meal at about 2 pm on a Sunday. Since then we haven't bothered. The dining table is practically redundant. It's usually meals on the knee.

[Bobbisox]

yes we did too red, tatties and turnip fried together with a few burnt bits for flavour...yummmy

[Bobbisox]

Where I live peri , Sex is summat you get the coal in..LOL

[pericat]

I normally do a roast midweek - used to have a roast on Sundays, but am too busy to faff about with it on a Sunday. We are having chicken stir fry tonight - cooked chicken from Asda with fresh veg and noodles in stir fry. Sorted (:0 D

Remember as a child eating Sunday Dinner at lunchtime - listening to 2 Way Family Favourites and The Clitheroe Kid on the radiogram. Always went to Sunday School too. Makes me sound ancient!!

[Bobbisox]

Hya DEN, that sounds lovely
1955 that was me too, SSchool at 2pm for an hr...

[redman41]

Hope you parked the Car nicely in Asda DEN53 !! lol

[DEN53]

1955 - me too - and on Sunday evening my Mum would have 'Sing something simple' on the radio.

[1955]

Same here!! Still remember the theme song.

[DEN53]

I sure did, Red - found a lovely WIDE parking space and on Sunday its Free.

[Bobbisox]

oh wow, we all must have been listening in to that he-he
I think it started at 7ish?

[Bobbisox]

it's free all the time here DEN, did you mean Asda car park

[DEN53]

Think you are right Joy about 7 ish. Its a shame really that TV has outdone the radio.

I also went to Sunday School with my best dress and straw hat.

[DEN53]

Joy - our Asda in Romford has'nt got its own car park - its a multi story one joined with the shopping centre.

[Bobbisox]

don't forget the white ankle socks and new white sandals for Whit DEN..ha-ha
not many kids do that now do they?

[redman41]

Was that DEN's Car sticking out of the side of that Multistorey Car Park which was shown on TV. It's the first thing that came to mind.......God DEN has done it again !! Ha Ha

[DEN53]

There was something quite nice about putting a brand new pair of fresh white socks on with my Clarks Sandals.
