WTF is fourses?

WTF is fourses?

It's like elevenses at four o'clock.

Supper is well out of order, mind

It's a term used only by poshos for the evening meal. For right-thinking people it's a cup of cocoa or a bowl of cornflakes before bed.

 

[Orang Utan]

That's tiffin or high tea
ETA: fourses

Maybe it's because you're not a builder and don't sit on your arse all day drinking tea with the occasional bit of work in between

Do you think blokes on building sites call it that?

 

[Orang Utan]

Yes, certainly

Mediterranean Foods (I think that's what it's called) opposite Decorator's Mate in Streatham used to do them. Haven't been there for years though.

Nor do I often have to be up at sparrow's fart, unless it's only for an hour or two.

No, as I posted before ,breakfast is around 8-10,dinner 11-4, tea (at double time) 4-10.It was an intermitant problem but we found it that'll be £2700 please or £2600 without the vat. Mastercard? Just let me give my accountant a bell.

I think the following have already been suggested-

Cafe on the Hill (doesn't serve lasagne)
Semas (lasagne too small, but almost made up by size of portion of chips)
Phoenix (doesn't serve lasagne)
Vera Cruz (too slow & small portions)
Express Cafe (remain untried)

What about the Cafe in Brockwell Park - the one at the top? They definitely have lasagne because I've seen it there before, and they must serve chips. You could get there and back in a lunchtime I reckon.

Also, Steve's Cafe in Herne Hill is a likely candidate.

There's some seriously questionable stuff on Wikipedia about 'dinner':

Dinner is usually the name of the main meal of the day. Depending upon culture, dinner may be the second, third or fourth meal of the day.[1][2] Originally, though, it referred to the first meal of the day, eaten around noon, and is still occasionally used for a noontime meal, if it is a large or main meal.

indeed. dinner is the noontime meal, whatever it's size.

corrected for you.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

indeed. dinner is the noontime meal, whatever it's size.

In Western Europe the fashionable hour for dinner began to be incrementally postponed during the 18th century, to two and three in the afternoon, until at the time of the First French Empire an English traveller to Paris remarked upon the "abominable habit of dining as late as seven in the evening".[5]

fuck western europe. lancashire sets the mark for this one, lad.

If we all lived to the standards imposed by northerners, there wouldn't be much "Great" left in Great Britain.

Please unmerge the threads so we can have a proper thread about lasagne in Brixton, and another one for all this idiotic rubbish.
