Interesting. Never thought that the use of "dinner" for a midday meal was a question of class.

I'd never heard the use of "dinner" instead of "lunch" south of the Watford Gap, so to speak. I thought it was more a regional use not just a question of class. When living in London, I never heard anyone saying they were going for their "dinner" at lunchtime.
