I meant the meal between lunch and (just to confuse our American friends) supper (which is, of course, only biscuits and a cup of hot cocoa!).  I did not mean morning, afternoon, or even high tea.  Perhaps I should have said dinner?  I meant the main meal of the day, if that meal is not eaten at noon. 

I think that as an impressionable teenager I read too many "rattling good school stories" set in the "jolly hockey sticks" style of English boarding school for girls.  I am, in fact, one of those "colonial cousins", being an Australian, but I am always being mistaken for a Pom - and now you know why!  (I actually suspect that I am having my leg pulled and the mickey taken with this post!)
