Dear Everyone, How many times a day, and at what time, does teatime take place in the UK ? What does one usually have during teatime besides the tea ? Curious, Glenda

Depends what class you are. The middle and upper classes have tea and a light meal scones, cakes etc. because they have dinner at about 8pm. Tea time is 4.30- 5pm. The lower classes who do all the work have a substantial meal at tea time. Lunch is another thing altogether, we commoners call it dinner. It's all very confusing for foreigners. <BG> Jim Sharpe ----- Original Message ----- From: Glenda R.
