Unfortunately written English doesn't really have any equivalent to a glissando

It's always "mealtime" in VF's world.

Dinner is the evening meal unless it's Sunday when it's at lunchtime... Tea is also the evening meal as well as a drink. Perhaps I'm just confused because I'm a southerner living in the north?

Do you refer to the meal you have in the evening as dinner or tea?

I've always called it dinner. It's not a snobbery thing it's just that when I've spent hours slaving over a stove putting together a gourmet feast with all the trimmings for someone to say "thanks for tea" just doesn't seem to do it justice somehow. Especially not when it's served at 8pm.

So, you've never worked out how to do a poll on these forums?
