That's weird because I was having 6pm dinners in the 90s as a kid....and pretty sure my parents did before that.

Yep, and me. I wonder if it’s something to do with region or tradition? By the way, we always called dinner tea, if that’s an indicator!

Lies! Gen-Z invented everything, everything! The wheel, coffee, dinner, shoes, hair brushes. They invented everything old man and don't you forget it!

Of all the stupid "Gen Z invented ____" this has to be the stupidest.

No idea why anyone would have their dinner at tea time.

Growing up, Gen X, we always had supper around 6pm, like clockwork. Today though, the wife and I, typically have dinner at 9-10pm like the Spanish do. Luch is the biggest meal of the day.

6pm dinners are nothing new. Generations of kids grew up knowing the drill: in from school, do homework or maybe watch telly, tea at 6pm, mess about until time for bed. Special occasions allowed for later meals. What's the problem? it's not like restaurants stop taking orders at 7.45 now, is it...

6pm was always dinner time in our house, still is unless we have guests which is very rare.

That's when a lot of working men got home from work. We always had dinner at that time. In the 60s😂

Why is the writer having lunch at 2pm?

Early diners create more openings for those who prefer to eat later. Although in the Midwest, the "earlybird" special is from 4:30-5:30 pm and most of the restaurants close by 9 pm.

Another nonsense factoid piece to appear in the Guardian - as they open up to sub standard journalists desperately thinking of something to write about?

I thought that was essentially a standard that dinner was 6. In time for the news.

Late dinners are often a function of long commutes. Working from home or close to home allows the civilised early supper, so not having a full belly in bed.
