When I was little, we had a front room, where there was a three piece suite and a radiogram. We used to wear bumpers on our feet for playing out. All the roadside footpaths were called pavements, whether or not they were actually paved. We had breakfast, school dinner and dinner (mum never really trusted that the school dinners were good enough ). At weekends we had breakfast, dinner and tea, the dinner being our main meal, and the tea was high tea - bread and butter, cakes, and a pot of tea.
I have Living room Settee Toilet Don't use napkins I have breakfast, lunch and dinner I have an ice lolly on hot days But this is only since I moved south I used to have Front room Couch Toilet Used serviettes in cafe only We had breakfast, dinner and tea. All taken in the back kitchen I used to have lolly ices on hot days. I love listening to Paul O'Grady he uses phrases and names I recognise from my youth.
We have dinner, on a tray on our lap, sitting on one of the two sofas in our lounge. And because of this slobby behaviour, we use white damask napkins to protect our clothes!
We have a perfectly good dining room but as it's been requisitioned (by me ) as a sewing room, we can't eat our breakfast, lunch or dinner in there.
When the call of nature arises, I rush upstairs to our one and only loo.
