    Brits drink so much tea that it’s just a regular drink that doesn’t need a specific time.
    So if someone say “tea time” or that they’re “having their tea” it means an afternoon meal.

    Re Schools.
    In England, our oldest fee paying schools are called 'Public', this differentiated them from the schools provided by the military or the church.
    You did not need to have family connections or religious affiliation, they were open to the public, if they could pay.
    We also have Independent schools which are fee paying.
    What you might call Public Schools in the US, those supplied by the Government for all, are called State schools here (England).

    Another weird thing concerning British courtrooms. A Gavel is never used and never has been. Despite this many otherwise meticulously accurate British courtroom dramas feature the Judge banging away and shouting 'Order!'. It's either put in for dramatic effect or the writers have been watching too much Perry Mason.

      Gavels. Although they're often seen in cartoons and TV programmes and mentioned in almost everything else involving judges, the one place you won't see a gavel is an English or Welsh courtroom - they are not used there and have never been used in the Criminal Courts.
      An exception is the Inner London Crown Court, where clerks use a gavel to alert parties in court of the entrance of the judge into the courtroom.[12][13] Wikipedia.

    It`s a class thing ! Working class people here called `dinner` "tea" and consume the latter at about 5pm. They have dinner when the `la de da` are having lunch.
    Basically it goes like this :
    1) Breakfast - varies between classes depending upon ones rising from slumber.
    2) Elevenses - tea or coffee drunk between 11am and mid-day by the upper middle class - and unknown to the working class.
    3) Lunch for the middle and upwards class and called dinner by the working class.
    4) Afternoon tea for the upper middle and beyond classes.
    5) Tea for the workiing classes and ignored by those `above them.`
    6) Dinner for the middle classes and those above them.
    7) Supper for the middle and upper classses ( the working class are still eating from their tea-time ).

    We don't have A/C as it's too expensive to use for 1 month of the year, if that. Open a window, the back doors, get a fan out, have an ice lollie, do any of those to keep the house (and yourself) cool.

    Tea for dinner is a regional variation here in the south where I live it was an informal word for dinner which we used as kids but I don’t really use anymore as an adult.
    Most UK tv series are 6 episodes in length also the system of tv production is different to the US, as I understand it there is a seasonal basis for the production of tv shows in the US and then a dry period with little output hence why in the US they are called seasons.
    Air conditioning has historically been too expensive for Uk residents and businesses to invest in when we only typically have a few weeks in the summer that are uncomfortably hot. However as the summers have been getting warmer here and there are cheaper air con systems they are becoming more common.

    Tea = the drink

    So when someone says tea time, or uses it as a singular noun("have my tea") they usually mean what American's call dinner.

    Brought up in SE London. As a kid would refer to the evening meal as tea. Now I would generally call it breakfast, lunch and dinner, however if you has your main mean at lunchtime ( a roast dinner!) and had a smaller evening meal that would be tea or maybe supper. I believe that dinner traditionally referred to the main meal of the day.
    A fully air conditioned home is unusual but you might have a a/c unit. Partly it down to weather but also down to heating systems. we have radiators which only have one function to heat. many US home have air heating, not great, but has the multi function of beeing switched to a/c.

Later than that and it's probably dinner/supper, but also in the north lunch is called dinner. Down south, the evening meal is more likely to be called dinner

We have breakfast, dinner(lunch), tea (what you refer to as dinner) and supper (snack before bed) in that order, so when America is having their dinner in the evening, the uk is having their tea (not the drink lol).
    The term public schools in the uk you would know as a private school as you pay for the education, what you know as public school is what we call a state school as its owned and funded by the government.

    the 4 meals during the day when I grew up on Scotland in the 1950's were breakfast, dinner, tea (evening meal), and supper. My mum sent me to school with my dinner money to buy my dinner ticket which entitled me to a mid-day meal served by women called dinner ladies. Lunch as a word to describe the mid-day meal was a term we thought of as being used by pretentious folk who liked to believe they were posh 😁

    @SteveParkes-Sparko 25 днів тому

    Right... There are usually three main mealtimes in a day. Breakfast in the morning - everybody knows that one. Then there's the mid-day meal, commonly called 'lunch' - but if it happens to be your MAIN, big meal of the day, it's often called 'dinner' - even though it's in the middle of the day.
    Then there's our evening meal - the one we come home to after school or work - when probably MOST people have their main meal of the day - and they probably call it 'dinner'. In the UK, this evening meal is also VERY often called 'tea'. As a child in the 1950s, I grew up having my main meals at school at midday - which we called 'School Dinners' - then we came home and had a lesser meal at around teatime - and we called it 'eating our tea' or 'having our tea'.
    Two separate meanings for the word 'tea'. It is obviously the hot drink which we Brits especially love - but the same word can also mean our evening meal.
    I've used those two meanings all of my seventy-four years, so it's quite normal to me and most of my fellow Brits!

    Sometimes we use tea as another way of saying dinner, as the main meal of the day, or any evening meal. When I was child the first meal of the day was breakfast, at mid-day we had Dinner, & in the evening we had Dinner. Some times mid day meals are Lunch, & evening meals can be Dinner. Later evening meals can be supper. Courtroom wigs are leftover from the days when most men wore wigs. From the 17th century heads were shaved to prevent lice, & so wigs were worn. These are retained in British courts to indicate the seriousness of the Law & it's officials. Gentry & rich people used to have their children mostly home schooled with private tutors. Some schools were set up for larger groups of children, but were still restricted to those who could pay. These were 'public' because in private houses.
    When compulsory schooling was brought in some of these private 'public' schools remained. The general schools for everybody else are state schools.
    Snog just means 'making out' in American terms, close cuddling & kissing between boy & girl friends. Biscuits & Gravy sound & look disgusting, neither biscuits or gravy are the real thing.
    But 'the customer is always right' is an in complete quote. The quote continues ' to search for what he wants, the seller is right to question him'. We don't go in for pushy salespeople, but like to shop for ourselves & only go to the salesperson if we need some help. Americans mostly drink bottled water, here in the UK we would just use 'still' tap water. Sparkling water is only available in bottles. Baked beans for breakfast, don't knock it till you've tried it. We don't need AC in Britain. It's not that hot often, & we can always open a door & window. America cannot have had AC forever, only in the last 50? years. An awful expensive way to regulate temperature. Get a fan, or a heater.
