Am I the only one to appreciate the irony that a Congresswoman who "heads the intelligence sub committee for the House's 91Èȱ¬land Security Committee" has "an open home network that could have leaked out vital information", which is neither intelligent nor secure?

Kate (Thursday's letter), teatime depends on where you are. Up here in the north it is 5:00 - 6:30 pm, when the main meal of the day is taken. In the south it is 4:00 pm, but you only get tea and cucumber sandwiches.

Kate (Thursday's letter), breakfast can be taken anytime before 10am. Brunch is between 10 am and noon - elevenses (10:30-11:30) being a mere snack and not a meal-time. Lunch occurs between 12noon and 2pm. High tea happens between 2pm and 4pm and is generally nibbles of sandwiches (cucumber, no crusts) and a nice refreshing brew; although this can be substituted for a cream tea with cakes (or a Tunnocks teacake on a Friday). 'Tea' itself is early dinner - between 4pm and 6pm, whereas 'Dinner' itself is between 6pm and 8pm. Supper can be taken anytime after 8pm (although those who should be seen and not heard would be allowed supper earlier, which would comprise simply a rich tea biscuit and a glass of milk, warmed during winter months). Hope that helps.
