If I ever say the word 'lunch' fucking shoot me.
Damn, that's the hill you want to die on?
My mates would kill me if asked them if they fancied a spot of lunch.
To me calling the noon/midday meal as anything other than lunch sounds pretty pretentious.

So when do you have supper?
Only the upper classes do, rest of us call it tea.
Growing up middle-class Canadian in the 70s and 80s, the three meals were breakfast, dinner, supper. Only in the last 30 years, maybe, has lunch replaced dinner and dinner become interchangeable with supper.
It seems to change where you go in the UK. Further north you seem to find breakfast, dinner, tea. Southerners are more breakfast, lunch, dinner (supper if posh). I may be completely wrong but that's what I've found living in both areas.
Yeah bit more complicated than that.
Breakfast, lunch, tea or dinner depending on context. Supper is a late night snack.
Dinner is a more substantial cooked meal whereas tea could be a light meal served in the evening. That is why we had dinner at lunch time in school ( and Sunday dinners). The kids will ask what is for tea but you go out for dinner, same thing.
I think this is where we differ. I associate tea with just an evening meal, regardless of the size, it's tea to me. Dinner is midday meal, again regardless of size.

I guarantee you the neighbourhood I live in is rougher than yours. If you live in the Berkshire countryside you might be a bumpkin but I'm from the streets as you know.

As an American I can tell you "Do you fancy a spot of tea good chap" sounds way more poncey than "hey let's have lunch".

Only the highest class in Britain would say a spot of tea good chap, normal Brits just have tea as an evening meal.

Thats as maybe mate if you think we are all like the stereotypes have you believe. I drink tea all the time but i've never used that term. As for "good chap" what is this the 1930s ?

Looks delicious. I just had some cherry cheese danish. Which is not good for my diet, so now I feel awful. Good danish though.
