Ha, the things you learn from tattlelife. I always just thought afternoon tea, arvo tea if you will, was anything you ate between lunch and dinner. A high tea has scones, tea, maybe some sandwiches or cakes etc.Afternoon tea is usually in a really nice tea room sometimes posh in hotels sometimes just nice little places.
Tea, can often add a glass of champagne and then a tiered plate thing with lots of sandwiches and cakes
Not a cup of Yorkshire tea and a scone on the bench outside
Chris woke her up with a cup of tea and a smile (heave) like he always does.
So it would have probably been midday
