Alright, here you go (http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/country/british+english.html). Bob's your uncle (http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/bob%27s+your+uncle.html) This idiom means that something will be successful: Just tell him that I gave you his name and Bob's your uncle- he'll help you. Couldn't find anything on "Elevenzies".

That's brunch Elevenzies is like eating a cake at 11. I guess everyone wants to do it, so they gave it a name

Elevenzies is just a nice cup of tea & a couple of biscuits or a cake, at 11am Only really enjoyed by older folk - if you are employed then nil chance, you get a lunch break & that's your lot.

Tierce I have never heard of. The rest seem about right, though depending on the individual you may have missed third breakfast and fourth breakfast...

Tierce is a very old tradition, If i remember its something to do with a set amount of time passing - like 3 quarters or something....
