Very curious about this question, as it has been debated many times within my household, family and even within the community team.
I recognise that answers may be influenced by location and upbringing, but I'm curious to know what the vast majority of people call the meal you eat in the evening, is it...

TeaI'm dead common it's tea and always has been, it's dinner if you are going out (as we used to do pre covid)2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

TeaTea for me too....is it a Yorkshire thing, or more widespread? If I can even remember it, going out for a meal is dinner/evening meal.There's also a thread on here 'What's for tea tonight?' so we're not alone.

TeaI always assumed saying tea was a Yorkshire thing. But I guess not?
My partner says dinner, which confuses me a whole lot because I call the meal in the middle of the day dinnerOnline Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

Tea. I’m not posh enough to call it dinner.

It depends on who i'm speaking to, if it's my mum then i will say tea. But if i'm talking to Ewan, then i will say dinner because we have had many debates over the correct terms for mealtimes, to be fair though, he is from Windsor

TeaAlways known it as tea, quote from Google below.High” teaIn the past, high tea was an alternative to afternoon tea. ... This eventually evolved into the lower classes calling their midday meal “dinner” and their evening meal “tea”, while the upper classes called their midday meal “lunch” and referred to the evening meal as “dinner”.

DinnerI used to call it tea all the time, until I married my American wife, now its dinner and lunch, whether eating in or out or what time we have it. Its all food anyway whatever we call it.

TeaI’m from the south and we call it tea
