Every so often I'm reminded how bloody difficult it is to come and live in this country.
We were due an electrician to visit today but earlier he messaged my wife to say he couldn't make it and could he instead come "around tea time tomorrow".
My wife, who did not grow up in this country, asked me "when is tea time?" to which I replied "probably about 4-ish".
So then she said "But I thought tea time meant lunch time" and then the conversation went that although dinner time might mean lunch time and supper time might mean dinner time, tea time is always tea time even though it's highly unlikely anyone would be drinking tea. Unless it's afternoon tea which can be at any time but is definitely not tea time.
Bloody hell England, you don't make it easy do you!
