No matter which way you say it, the meal starting times are roughly 6 - 8 AM, 11 AM - 1 PM, and 4:30 PM -7 PM. This also may depend on whether you're in an urban environment or rural environment.
As far as the original poster's question: teatime is considered a British phenomenon and is generally considered "upper class". I.e. - "We don't drink no dang tea 'less it's iced". 
I was going to bring up "sun tea," but I'm not sure there is such a thing in the UK.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
