Chatting To Some Friends On Fb ( Group) What Time Do You Have Dinner On Sundays?

[Bobbisox1]

It might sound like a banal question for some but it’s the way our lives have changed , when I was young Sunday dinner ( it’s called lunch now) was always served up at 12-30 ish , it was the traditional roast beef ,vegetables and Yorkshire puddings followed usually by home cooked rice with brown skin on on it ,with Family Favourites playing on the radio in the background.
Tea was at 5 and we had home made Victoria sponge and a scone , I insisted on Camp coffee and I only drank it on Sundays and Winter mornings with toast done on a fork in front of a blazing fire.
Now we have dinner at 5 in the afternoon!!!

Sunday 'dinner' has never been called Sunday 'lunch' in my household, Bobs. And never will be. It's breakfast, dinner and tea, ta very much:-)

We always called lunch lunch at 1. Supper was 6 but dinner if at 8

[carolegif]

Just like us! Although if the weather is bad we have it around 1.30/2pm. Our grandchildren constantly tell my husband, who always says dinner “It’s lunch, grandad!”
Also none of this five a day, we had one veggie with the roasted, and tea was a small sandwich and a slice of cake!

Ken I even find myself saying ‘Sunday Lunch’ my Mam would turn over at the time we eat haha

[zylaphone]

Sunday lunch 3:00 in the afternoon

Must admit it irks me when people refer to dinner as a meal eaten at either lunchtime or teatime

I then have to point out to them that dinner is generally after 6 pm

After all
Whoever heard of an after dinner speaker doing their slot before 6 pm ?

Who has ever taken a lady out to dinner around 12.30 pm or 5 pm ?
I consider both of those as lunchtime and teatime

By all means have Sunday lunch with traditional meat and veg and gravy etc but it is not dinner

[Bobbisox1]

Snap Carole :0)

Hi Zyla, how are you ?

[Bobbisox1]

It is here Sticky :0(

[naomi24]

Same time every day. 7.30 to 8.

[Bobbisox1]

That’s supper here Naomi :0))

[1ozzy]

I eat when I'm hungry.
Sleep when I'm tired.
Wash when I'm smelly.
What use is a clock or calendar?

[Bobbisox1]

Although I might add, we don’t do supper but we did as I was growing up , probably toast or something light whereas my Dad would have a fry-up of potato and veg with the left overs from the dinner , if not on Sunday, he’d have it when he came from work on the Monday tea time

[Bazile]

You mean , you can afford to eat ?

That's so novel

[Bobbisox1]

Well up till now we can Baz, not sure about that after April 1st :0(

Dinner (meaning lunch) was what we always called it oop north. The evening meal was TEA at about 6 pm.

A bit of lunch was just a daytime snack.

I then have to point out to them that dinner is generally after 6 pm

Dinner is in the afternoon. You don't get a job as a dinner lady and go to work after 6

[Bobbisox1]

But then you don’t call school dinner ladies starting at 11am , lunch ladies Roy, just saying ;)

[royfromaus]

No, you call dinner ladies. dinner ladies, who oversee dinner at 12.

[tiggerblue10]

For me it's lunch is anytime between 12 and 2pm, then dinner anytime between 5 and 8pm. Maybe a little snack around 10ish.

Bobbi
Not worried about the time but your mention of the radio playing reminds me of : The Clitheroe Kid, The Navy Lark and Round the Horne.
Happy days !!
