    In the South you used to (and still do) have the following three meals a day:

    Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

    In the North, however…

    Breakfast, dinner, tea.

    In the South, we sometimes have “breakfast, dinner, supper” (especially in rural areas; city folks are more likely to have “breakfast, lunch, dinner”) and our tea definitely has ice and a fuckton of sugar in it.

      Are we both talking about the UK here?

      Ice and sugar in tea feels distinctly not British at all.

          Maybe it’s a culture thing, but that comes across as a wildly patronising comment from someone who just wandered into a conversation about “not the US” and started talking about the US.
