Next Sunday?

[Ringley]

Today I saw an advert for an event next Sunday.

Would you say that's Sunday 28th Sept or Sunday 5th October?

5th October.

But I know some people view it differently. I assume the date was clarified on the advert?

If someone says to me "next Sunday" I'll always ask them to confirm actual date to make sure.

Edited to add it depends how long the advert has been up. If it was up a week ago then next Sunday would be the 28th.

So many variables.

I would say 28th September.
5th October would be a week on Sunday

28 Sept is this Sunday.
5 October is next Sunday.

As above. I'd lean towards Oct 5th, but I wouldn't rely on it. I am one of the annoying people who use it to mean either the Sunday coming (as in the next Sunday) or the one after (next as in following Sunday).

28th September

In this instance, I'd say 5 October.

I'd refer to 28 September as this Sunday or this coming Sunday.

No date on the advert.

The advert is for an annual vintage car show, so the sign is reused each year.

Which isn't helpful.

5th October. 28th Sep is this Sunday

Can you find it on here? https://www.carevents.com/uk/classic-car-events/

I don't want to go enough to look on that list!

The advert got me thinking about the lack of agreement on what "Next Sunday" means when used on a Wednesday.

Hmm.

I'd say 28th is this Sunday, 5th is next Sunday.

But if I knew the sign was re used every year, I'd think it meant the 28th. (Assuming it's up until the event) Because if it is up until the event and 'next Sunday' is the 5th - then next week 'next sunday' is the 12th and the event would never come!

Fair enough, don't then!

I think it's the same as bi-monthly - it can mean twice a month or every two months.

Ooh in the context I’d say this Sunday, Sunday 28th. But otherwise I’d have said Sunday 5th!

On Sunday = 28 Sept
Next Sunday = 5 October …

However I would always check which Sunday for obvious reasons 🤣

5th October

28th is this Sunday so the 5th is the one next to it. Therefore the correct answer is the 5th!!

Of course there wouldn't be such a thing as a phone number attached to the advert that would be too easy.
Do they have a Facebook presence?
You would think they would because how else would a group of vintage car people keep in touch with each other?
Sounds like a lot of work.
Sounds like they don't really want anyone outside the vintage car club to know?

Last Sunday, this Sunday, next Sunday, the Sunday after next (or Sunday week).

But a poster really should include the date!
