Was that the gong?

Is your main evening meal of the day tea or dinner?  Seems there's a sort of north-south divide here, with the further north you are, the more likely you are to refer to it as tea, and equally the further south you are, the more likely you are to call it dinner.  Where that leaves me, in the Midlands, I don't know.  If I think about it, I reckon it depends more on the time.  I usually eat around 6.00 to 6.30, and to me, that's tea-time.  If, for whatever reason, I didn't eat until closer to 9.00, then I would tend to think of that as dinner.
