People said there was something missing from this tea vs dinner ‘north/south divide’
Here’s the good people of YouGov with a map of the country showing who calls their main evening meal tea and who calls it dinner.
The real North/South divide: is it "dinner" or "tea"? Our new map shows the boundaries between Dinner England and Tea England https://t.co/NHtyaU3USn pic.twitter.com/rDUrXkkKYS

And here’s a whole bunch of people who said there was a gaping hole in the survey about the size of Alan’s Big Plate.
And supper?

Er.
What about ‘supper’?

Where does ‘supper’ come into it all?
— RedSquirrel (@GodSquadandMe) May 22, 2018
Well, you get the idea. Here’s what they had to say.
Only 5% of people call it supper – it comes behind dinner and tea in every county

I asked for ‘supper’ recently and the hotel employee didn’t know what I was talking about. I am clearly an outdated tourist.

“Supper”= crackers & cheese https://t.co/L483yP7vmN

Not that anyone could agree on anything, really.
One professional title is defined by the meal they serve and the time of day they serve it. That title is Dinner Lady, and they serve that meal around noon. I can't see any argument that gets around this reality. Also shout out to Dinner Ladies.

Ahh but what about the children who bring lunchboxes for lunch time, you can hardly force 'dinner' as the midday meal on those kids! They go home for dinner at 6!

But whether they have lunch or dinner, they go home for tea.
