A few words can get lost in translation as I was baffled when someone went to make "tea" and came back with their "dinner" because I didn't realize that "tea" often meant dinner and not just the drink.

In the Sarf luncheon is at midday, and dinner is around 7.30pm, they are posh so can afford afternoon tea at 3.30pm you see, then they have supper as well, which is another meal entirely
