   Just to mention how much the answer to that depends on one's location.   
      
   When I lived in Canada, the evening meal for families -- I define this   
   by asking myself what time I should avoid phoning if I don't want to   
   interrupt someone's meal -- was between 5:00 and 6:30pm-ish.   
      
   In the UK (where I've lived since 1982), the time to avoid would be   
   6:30 to 8:30-ish.   
      
   As is the case for lots of people, it's changed with age:  a few years   
   ago, my wife and I (now in our 70s) moved our evening meal time from   
   8:00 to 7:00pm.  (Digestion issues R us.)
