Never mind, the evening meal was excellent!
If the apocryphal stereotype (at least here in the West) is to be believed you were lucky not to be greeted with "Ye'll have had yer tea then." (or if in Dr Browning's Parish "I expect that you will have taken tea already."). I hasten to add that that has not been my experience of folk from Auld Reekie, who have always been most hospitable.
