I still think Nelson faked his own death.

When was the last time I had supper? Oooooh about three hours ago.
i think breakfast is probably the only meal these days that doesn't wander around or go by different names. However if I was a farmer who had to be up before .. well before.. and put in a hard few hours milking before I was likely to get a proper breakfast, I'd probably be rather attached to a good supper the night before.

I don't have supper, never have, but I know people who do.
I think that too many people on this message board expect the programme to exactly mirror reality and take great delight in jumping on it when it doesn't. I suspect most of the great Archers listening public are happy if it is believable and are occasionally willing to suspend their disbelief for the sake of progressing the drama.

Breakfast, lunch supper - metropolitan posh and upwardly mobile types.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner - older middle class people.
Breakfast, dinner, tea - northern working class.
No breakfast, sarnie, summat from the fridge - modern yoof.

Looks as if I'm northern working class.
Off to practise saying bath a short 'a'. Do I have to keep coal in it to qualify?

Supper - usually around Archers time in this house.
Dinner if we have visitors.
Whereas lunch/luncheon is served as the meal in the middle of the day ...

We have always had breakfast, lunch, tea. No supper.
Cooked meal is tea.
Except, if we have friends round we invite them 'for a meal' to avoid confusion in case they think they are getting cucumber sandwiches and madeira cake.
Think this makes us some sort of weird class hybrid.

I think it depends what time you have it.
Tea is at teatime, you can't have dinner at five o'clock, can you?
Supper is later still, which is why it's metropolitan, 'cause it isn't ready 'til 9 o'clock if you've been stuck at Waterloo for an hour waiting for your poxy train home.

Remind me what luncheon meat is Peet, some dim memory is stirring from the seventies, does it come in a tin?
Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:21 GMT, in reply to ShropshireLad1965 in message 18
It's effectively "Chopped ham and pork", but made from slightly darker cuts and held together with starch. It turns dark and smells bacon-y when you grill it. And yes, it comes in a tin.

Breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner chez Yore. Supper is what is eaten before/after the theatre or the opera and is a lighter meal than dinner.

Thanks. Can't say I'm off to Sainscos right now to hunt some out, though.

You're more likely to see it in Poundland at two-cans-for-拢1. It's cheap(ish) and edible(ish).
But would you have your TV dinner in the lounge or the sitting room?

I'd have my TV dinner in the living room at teatime.

After Nelson died in real life? You mean TA isn't real life? Illusion shattered, how can I go on?

It annoys me that there is no postman who does the rounds in Ambridge. I can just about cope without the village bobby and no doctor, but a postie - essential.
Mon, 02 Mar 2009 17:46 GMT, in reply to aneris in message 26
But then how wouuld Rooth, Peggoi and JennyDahling find an excuse to hand-deliver all those birthday and Christmas cards?
The postie was last seen (via the village webcam)popping in to the Horrobins, where Tracy opened the door in her nightie ...
