Yes and that's how it traditionally is here but also traditionally because it's been that way for generations, working class northerners have had dinner in the middle of the day and tea (meaning dinner) later in the day after work. Must just be a Brit thing huh?
translation...Fry up (UK English: verb, adverb) a selection of fried food such as; bacon, sausage, eggs, mushrooms, black pudding et al...often accompanied with *shudders* Heinz baked beans and tinned plum or fried tomato (I'll pass on the tomato-y stuff ta ever so .gif "Say What?") ) ......usually served with toast and lashings of tea.
