Dinner or Supper

[Parson Henry]

The correct sequence is, I believe:

Breakfast
Elevenses
Lunch
Tea
Dinner
Supper

And when, my chum, do you fit in a snack when you are peckish like?

He got elevensies in there but not twosies!!

 

[pasty]

dinner.

supper is when you have a bowl of cereal at about 9 oclock or before you go to bed.

Is the correct answer.

Is it dinner or supper

Tea
