Zu

I have groundbreaking news!!! You know that 11pm hunger feeling, or perhaps slightly earlier for some. When you just want to sit downa and eat? I have discovered why...we are missing a meal! There were intended to be 4 meals in a day...breakfast, lunch, tea and...Zu! Now firstly let me assure you this is perfectly logical and so by process shows that these are indeed the correct names for meals-none of this dinner rubbish. So what logic i hear you cry in a rather desperate tone.

Well...looking at the number of letters in each of the first 3 meals, the pattern indicates that the 4th meal should be a two letter word. Secondly, assigning the first letter of each word a number (a=1, B=2...) it is also clear that to follow the sequence, the fourth meal must begin with 26 (z). Hence we are left with Z?. Well now if we look at the opening vowel patterns we get ea, u, ea, ? which concludes my proof that the fourth meal of the day MUST be called Zu!

In other news, i rang NPower today and spoke to a lovely lady called Erica who solved all my problems (well my energy related ones anyway). I must depart now having had my Zu, to my bed, or at least somewhere near my bed for the sake of precision. Goodnight!

(1) Do you not feel it's unfair on the energy woman? I mean, if she solved your problem, you must've shared it with her first. But if that is her job, think how many problems she must have to deal with on your aforementioned model.

(2) Surely the more logical conclusion for the fourth meal of the day is implied by breakfast, lunch and tea, i.e. the fourth meal should be a BLT sandwich?

Although Zu is a close second.

(1) she solved the problem-i feel there is a clause to do with solving problems...(2) That would be too obvious

What happens to 'Zu' if you call 'lunch' 'dinner' and 'tea' 'supper', or make just one of those changes.. and what if 'Zu' is actually the fifth meal of the day, if someone also recognises 'elevenses'. You have not thought this through. And what about the fact that breakfast has a secondary vowel component 'a'... should that not be taken into account???

I have already dealt with false names for meals (see my post) and with reference to the number of meals which precede Zu, i feel that the mere 'natural order' and patterns from which Zu is derived would suggest it is the fourth meal of the day.
