The word's originally meaning is meal, but then changed by the British to mean Afternoon tea around 3pm(ish) but then went onto mean the tin that a meal would be served in, like a sandwich box, or at least that is my understanding.

That sounds about right.

Just for @Reynard or any other photographers out there, in June there will be a solar and lunar eclipse.

TV doodah works and we can get BBC1 and 2 now in the conservatory. Remarkable really as it's no bigger than a small notepad, and wafer thin. PS, we've got similar antennas in the teens rooms, rather than poke holes in walls.

I was at school in India more than half a century ago. My Tiffen was delivered at lunch time. The meaning has probably evolved since then.
I recall it being round and in two or three layers, with a large handle, and made of some sort of metal.

I think the meal time varied according to where you were in India.

You are correct, I think.

The solar eclipse won’t be visible in Britain. But there are 2 lunar eclipses in succession, 5 June then 5 July.

Unknown to me. But blues records were a fairly local phenomenon back then, so I mostly heard and had Chess(and also Checkers) records.

Woke up to a power cut this morning. No tea - not the best start to the day...

But have potted on some vegetable seedlings this morning, and in better news, my pencils are now out of quarantine.

Forgot to say that I put the green garden waste wheelie bin out yesterday, ready for collection this morning. Pleased to report that the bin had been emptied by the time I came downstairs.
