What's tea time to English people?!
Answers: I'm American and was wondering why tea time and tea in general is so important to you? How often do you have it and whats it about?
Traditional English meal times :-
Breakfast 0630 - 1000 (Depends whether its a working day or the weekend)
Lunch 1200 - 1400 Light meal
TEA-TIME 1545 - 1600 (Sometimes referred to as " quarter to foursies" - Tea and biscuits ( cookies to the colonials.)
Dinner - 1900 - 2100 Main meal of the day
Supper - 2300 - 2400 Tea/hot milk and biscuits
We also drink tea (with cold milk) at random times during the day !

Tea time in England refers to dinner time (or supper), and it is as important as dinner time in the US or almost any other part of the world.
Tea time isn't the time we have tea, it's the time we eat our last meal of the day.
About tea, tea is good.
I live in England.
Tea time is what you would call dinner/supper time.
Tea is dinner/supper.
Dinner is lunch
Lunch and supper here are just snacks. Lunch is a mid-day snack and supper is a later evening snack.
I think tea time was a WW2 thing There was a shortage food so it was an extra custom It may have even started at WW1.
My sister-in-law is from England and just for fun when we visit we have tea at 2pm and have crumpets which are very difficult to find.
