You have your dinner in the middle of the day (At half time in school-speak). Otherwise, they wouldn't be called dinner ladies would they ...

I shall stand facing the corner of the room for 5 minutes.
I do know that a clootie is the cloth it is made in.

When I was a kid we always had school dinners in the middle of the day. My favourite pudding was Semolina with jam.

My dad was never that persistent at explaining things fully.
Ta very much for clearing that up.
I'm similar with a lot of Welsh words picked up from my mother and grandmother. I can say them, but little idea of their correct spelling.

Oh and semolina
Jam and coconut topped sponge, or syrup sponge - both with lots of custard (no skin...) - winner!
The hospital restaurant does ginger sponge and custard. Big trays of the sponge and a huge vat of custard served with a huge ladle...keeps me going for about 4 days

Yes, that is the English translation, but it reads and sounds exactly the same to many.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
However you decide to have your Scone with clotted cream and Jam. It has to be washed down with tea and tea only. Anyone who drinks coffee with scones is a heathen with 6 fingers on one hand and deserves a lifetime infraction From the forum.
Re Scones, deffo jam then Clotted cream.
However Mr and Missis Tash were on our Jols at Dunster castle in Somerset last year. Now them Yokels did a warm cheese scone ( fruit scone has to be cold) with cream cheese and Chutney. Now that was food porn.
One of the beauties of travel is trying local delicacies, next week it is the turn of Inverness to tantalise my taste buds. Missis T has just booked a weekend in Bishop Auckland for next August for the Kynren show. So hopefully it’s fried mars bar time

@Tashyboy will you getting any golf in on your trip? Bishop Auckland itself is a very decent course, a Braid course.
Ted Lasso’s opinion on tea is spot on.However you decide to have your Scone with clotted cream and Jam. It has to be washed down with tea and tea only. Anyone who drinks coffee with scones is a heathen with 6 fingers on one hand and deserves a lifetime infraction From the forum.

I think if I mention to Missis T about playing a round I may end up walking home down the A1. I have had a look at the course though on Google maps

Correct. Butter (must be butter, not some weird kind of substitute), then jam, then cream on top (must be clotted).
This is the Cornish way.
Cream then jam is the Devon way.
My wife grew up in Devon, and we live in Devon, but both eat our scones the Cornish way.

That’s Lunchtime… when you go out for a meal, maybe at a restaurant in the evening what are you doing? You’re going out to dinner. Not blinking tea!!
