WHEN DO YOU HAVE YOUR DINNER?
Yesterday, a British friend told me that in UK, different people have their dinners in different time during the whole day:
Someones have their dinner meals at noon; Someones have their dinner after "Tea" and after that they probably have suppers in the late evening; Someones just call their suppers the "dinner".
When do you have your dinner? Please tell me :)

In America, the exact time of day depends on the person, but most people eat dinner between 5-8pm.

It depends on the region you come from. For example, I am from the South of England so I call 'dinner' the last meal of the day - I will usually have dinner between 6 - 8pm. However, if you're from the North of England you would call the second meal of the day 'dinner' - the meal you eat at around 12pm.
Just to clarify, if you're from the South your meals are:
Meal 1 (breakfast)
Meal 2 (lunch)
Meal 3 (dinner)
If you're from the North your meals are:
Meal 1 (breakfast)
Meal 2 (dinner)
Meal 3 (supper OR tea)
Hope this helps! :)
