Actually, you will find that Afternoon Tea is served from three to five in most restaurants in England. It is as you said little sandwiches, cakes, little pastries and scones, and of course tea which is served with milk.
Tea was invented in the Victorian times as a distraction, because the ladies got bored. They felt that there was such a long time between lunch and dinner, so they invented afternoon tea.
I love tea-time so I am going to make sure that it does not get squashed in this forum. I've met my friends for tea at Harrods and other places in London, as well as in our homes. Afternoon Tea is alive and kicking! There are tea rooms everywhere in England.
Hmm... Frank, did you live in the North of England or Scotland? because that's where they call dinner "tea". They,in fact, have Breakfast, lunch and tea. Everywhere else they have Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
