OK, you all have lost me. Who said what that is different? 
I have gone back over the conversation and have seen no phrase that seems different to me.

The difference is dinner and supper.
Dinner is the main meal of the day taken either at mid day or in the evening. While supper is taken in the evening and is a light meal.

That's interesting, you are only the second example of someone using that expression I have ever heard!

My wife's family use an almost identical version and tell me it's an old Guernsey saying.

Cheers,
Jim
