    Habit around here the last few years was dinner in the local pub on a Friday.

    I mean at the real dinner time (middle of the day) not this new dinner time in the evening.

    Maybe that's when the world started to change - when people started eating their dinner in the evenings :)

    We Try to eat dinner as a family every day.
    Dinner in the evening is the only way. Same when I was a kid at home growing up. Dinner was held back to let as many sit, chat and have dinner as a group. That’s going back over 40 years so I don’t think it’s a “new” thing.

    Yeah miss the social aspect of that too, 10 euro well spent. Too many of us on our own all day, but at least we don't have to listen to all the bitching going on in offices all over the country.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Try listening to that office bitching via endless Zoom calls. Drawing meal and silage out thru muck to out-wintered weanlings is 100 times easier. And better for your health!

    Same as this - dinner was always after school, around 5

    Now that I am working from home, dinner is still 5 - we could eat at 1 as we are both at home now, but the kids are in school. I prefer to sit down and everyone eat together. Was always a thing in our house growing up, and I really liked it...

    Here is a question - did ye have specific places at the table, that you would always sit at? ;)
    I thought everyone did, but it seems some families dont?

    Yes.
    We have specific places but in two layouts. If we’re eating a shared meal like pizza or finger food we sit different pattern than if we are having a regular dinner on a plate setup.

    I think it’s idea that you must have a dinner (meat & veg) everyday
    Having a small dinner at 130 now with a small snack at 7

    Stomach empties in 2/2.5 hours after eating. Doesn't mean you eat 7 times a day. Generally four, breakfast and dinner 5/6pm are the biggest.

    Not yet. A friend dropped his one to us yesterday evening. He has his cows dried off so isn't using it at the minute.

    Knew an elderly couple who would head to bed early.

    They would bring a flask and ham sandwiches with them for a late night snack.
