Dinner/Tea or Lunch/Dinner?

[masquesmog]

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

We call them matrons in school; nannies in our houses .....

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.

Park End? Didn't they eat their young there?

Thorntree - dinner and tea .... when we were lucky .....

When you say Bilog do you actually mean Wynyard?

Lunch and Tea.
Not sure why, I think it changed from dinner and tea because everyone says are you going out for lunch not are you going out for dinner ,unless its tea time of course then it's dinner

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?

I have exactly the same set of circumstances. A southerner that objects to me using dinner and tea.

Boro through and through. Moved to London in 2007 and unfortunately due this gang of Boro folk, it's lunch and dinner

I hear Brentford are looking for fans

It's not time related, dinner is the main meal of the day or a large meal.
So Sunday dinner, or dinner ladies makes perfect sense however calling a sandwich dinner is clearly insanity.

Lunch and dinner
Or dinner and tea

LOL No I mean proper Billingham. Chapel Road in old Billy Town.

Dinner and tea, but my wife argues that Dinner is your main meal of the day, whenever you eat it.

Definitely a North / South thing. First came across it at a National company training course where we were split into group syndicates and in the morning given a task which had to be completed by “Dinner Time”. The Northern lads were getting quite concerned at our lack of progress by 11:30 , but the Southern ones were much more relaxed! It turned out they were right…..
