Next Sunday is the 5th of May, the FOLLOWING Sunday is the 12th of May. Obvious innit?
You can’t have the 12th of May as NEXT Sunday ‘cos it isn’t. The 5th of May is the Sunday coming up, the Sunday just gone was the 28th of April. The Sunday of the 12th of May is the next Sunday after this Sunday of the 5th May.
Now if the Premier League had decided that these next fixtures were to be played on Saturday then we wouldn’t have this f***ing mess.
Sunday Bloody Sunday!!

I'd say the 5th if the term is used up until Wednesday, then debateable Thursday and Friday and the 12th from Saturday onwards.
I can't see that option on the poll

Next Sunday is the next Sunday that occurs on the calendar, in this case 05/05. I thought this when you posted about the Man City game being next Sunday
To chuck another spanner in (no not you Two Profs), lots of people on this thread are saying "Sunday week" but everyone I know says "a week on Sunday". Not sure I've ever heard the former before.
Is this another North/South thing and I've spent too much time up here? I don't think so as I don't recall my mum/dad/grandparents etc saying that as a kid.....
Great thread btw. The nuances of English are fascinating.

The next Sunday means the very next Sunday - 5th May.
A week Sunday - 12 May
A week Sunday - 12 May
Sunday week has always been Sunday week to me. However, I did have a Welsh girlfriend who referred to it "as something the English say". so, maybe it's not that common
I'm laughing here as my wife and I never really disagree on much - but in our 25 years together we will always argue this one out until we both give up...
Me : Today is Wednesday. The Sunday coming up is "This Sunday" because it is Sunday this week. Next Sunday is the Sunday after - next week, so is therefore next Sunday.
Her : No, the next Sunday coming is this Sunday. So Sunday is technically 'next Sunday'
We go round and round in circles until one of us says "ahhh bollocks" and walks off.
Obviously I'm right, and she thinks she's right.
Well, there is an argument that the week starts on a Sunday and not a Monday..............just saying..................
In North America and somewhere else that escapes me, Sunday is the first day of the week......
But under some kind of international standard thingy, Monday is the first day of the week so the approaching Sunday is THIS Sunday (as you say because it is the Sunday of THIS WEEK). Therefore 12 May would be NEXT Sunday (unless you live in US or Canada when May 5th would be NEXT Sunday because their Sunday belongs to a different week).
Has anybody won yet? What is the prize?

This vote isn't going the way I would have liked, may ask for a second vote after a couple of years as this has split Nsc and it isn't fair.
