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.
