Oh yes... messages. My mum used to send me out to run the messages if anyone came around for tea unexpectedly. This basically translated as go and buy emergency cake from the baker down the road!

Oh there's another one - tea! We have dinner or supper.... tea is a drink, like earl grey or orange pekoe. If someone came over for tea, it would be like coming over for coffee - a hot drink and maybe a piece of cake. I would NEVER serve spaghetti for tea!

OMG I feel like I should start taking notes on all this slang

Tea is only said in northern england to the best of my knowldge...i would NEVER say tea meaning a meal.

I say: breakfast, lunch and dinner... and sometimes if im hungry bewteen breakfast and lunch i have Brunch!

Ah... But that's what I mean! Coming around for tea and cake!

Although, just to complicate things, some people call supper or dinner tea but that comes from when it was eaten earlier in the day and revolved around, um, drinking... tea!

I never knew that's what chav stood for!! Think you guys also have Shameless USA over there now, that's also a bit chavvy! The UK one is actually set where my maternity hospital is, you can imagine the anti natal waiting room, and explains all the pregnant smokers outside!

Yes, that's true! It's regional. That's what I was trying to say.
