Some confusion here!…….pinched from elsewhere.

Generally speaking, lower class people from the north of England will say “breakfast dinner and tea” and upper class people from the south will say “breakfast lunch and dinner“.

To avoid embarrassment.

There is a way to avoid causing offence and to avoid showing ignorance.

When you accept the invitation, ask what time you should arrive.

That way, you’re showing consideration for the host and avoiding a problem at the same time.

Lunch 12-1.30

……………………….another hour yet! ??

Noon is noon whether you are in north or south. Unless you are in North Dakota or something.

I am in the Philippines and noon was 8 hours 38 minutes ago. So I have known who the prefered bidder is for the last 8 hours but did not want to spoil your fun.
