dinner is quite posh - usually evening.
tea is what common folk like myself have - early evening.
lunch is just lunch, eaten at lunchtime! if you're really posh you say luncheon.
i rarely hear people say "supper" these days - i think it might be somewhat old fashioned - usually a late evening meal.

well... according to my dad...tea is at like 4..i guess either on weekends or just after peeps get home from work.. the around 5-6 is supper which is a light meal of cheese, bread etc, and then at like 7 is dinner which is the full meal with everyone sitting together. and lunch is your typical 12pm mid day thing... could be slightly off but thats the gist of it..!

- Lunch early afternoon meal 12:00 - 13:30 (unless your common like me and its called dinner)
- Tea Afternoon tea and cake/biscuit 16:00 - 17:00 (Unless your again common in which case its your main evening meal[Dinner])
- Dinner main evening meal 19:00 - 20:30 (evening dress)
- Supper late snack taken if formal dinner was omitted in favour of tea 21:00 - 23:00
I Australia on weekends it goes like this
Lunch = between 12 - 2 useally a barby with lots meat and a Can of beer or 2 or 4
Tea = what we seldom dive in when the vis gets bad
Supper = a coctail or Girly drink
Dinner = The Barby is still going but your getting drunk the beer goggles are on and the ugly girls or looking allot better.
Are the good old days when i was a pup

Exactly. Just like some of the good ol' Brits in summer time.crusty said:
Actually - last week a few us went for lunch and didn't stop having "lunch" until around 10:30pm.
The next day was tough.

That's why so many moved west!
On the farm: Before dawn: coffee
Around 9:00 am: Breakfast (eggs, biscuits, gravy, pork chops, etc.)
Midday: supper (The big meal of the day)
After dark: dinner (something light to tide you over 'til breakfast)
Everyone else: Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
One of the main regrets in my mispent youth is not having a relative with a farm to eat at while was still able to seriously enjoy it.

in my family...
Dinner - what some people call supper, what we call it if we go out
Tea - cup of tea and a slice of cake about 3pm or when you get back from school
Lunch - this one is easy, the same everywhere
Supper -what some people call dinner, evening meal about 8pm.. in other households it means a glass of milk and a biscuit before you go to bed and after dinner or tea...
we used to get beaten if we referred to our evening meal as tea.. in fact I think we still would...
