Dinner/Tea or Lunch/Dinner?

[Druss_The_Legend]

As some of you probably know my Mrs is a Southerner.
She always calls it Lunch(mid day meal) Dinner(evening meal).
I lived in Boro until I was 21 and I have always called it Dinner(mid day meal) and Tea(evening meal) it has been a significant topic of debate over the years between the two of us .
I'm curious is this a north/south divide thing or do others on here call it lunch/Dinner or dinner/tea?

Dinner and tea. Anything else is wrong, fact.

If you're from the North-East then it's dinner, not lunch.

.......And Mam, not Mum

At schools in the South, what do they call dinner ladies? Is it as simple as lunch ladies?

Mam. Dinner/tea.

Wife says Mum, lunch/dinner.

Kids are very confused.

Tea. As in 5pm is Tea Time.
Mate of mine from Nottingham says it’s Dinner, he’s odd.

I thought elevensies was lunch, just a quick pastie or sausage roll before you had your proper dinner.

You've been missing a meal all this time, you'll be fading away

From Bilog and it's always been lunch and dinner to me, wife is Boro (Park ender) and it's dinner and tea. Just a few miles apart, but also a million.
