If you said to someone "it's going to be next Saturday" during midweek
Would you expect that person to realise it's not the forthcoming Saturday, but a week on Saturday?
My wife picked me up on it recently and said it confuses her as she takes next Saturday, to literally mean. the next Saturday due. I don't think it's a northern thing, but has got me questioning?
