That sounds more like adopting the Canadian way. When we visited England/Scotland - guess it was 30 years ago now the norm for everyone was to have "tea" when they got home from work which was sandwiches, cheeses, deli meats, cookies and tea. Then the hostess went to prepare dinner which was served 1-2 hours later. Even restaurants served tea from 2-4 - ie afternoon snack. Dinner was from 6pm on.
