I say dear boy
It is Breakfast, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea (scOn-s, not s-cones), and Dinner.

Anything bar that is one of common ilk and their type.

Agreed
When faced with this question, I always think of Withnail and I, the scene where Marwood is handed saveloy and chips while bathing, and questions eating lunch in the bath. Withnail (who is clearly the one of them that's from a well-to-do background) rages that 'it's dinner, (and Danny's here.')

So there.

I've lost track of the number of times
I've had this argument with a Northener. Anyways on one occasion I got so wound up about it I got out the Oxford English Dictionary and looked up 'dinner' Dinner is described as the "main meal of the day" so you could equally have lunch and dinner or dinner and tea.

Sorry I know, diplomacy and compromise are not welcome on the internet, but maybe we could try this once, you know for the kids and the small fluffy animals and whatnot...

I'm a suvverner and I'm used to having breakfast, dinner and tea as well so I don't think it's a northern thing. Mr Cmouse chose to correct me on it previously (just to wind me up I believe) so I may bother to get a dictionary out when I head over there later!

QED
You don't get lunch ladies do you? You get dinner ladies. Therefore, dinner is in the middle of the day.

QED.
