Great - all fine in theory.  But you try announcing a meeting that way!!!  
Here in England we debate it, meaning that I and my husband disagree.  When I 
say "next Thursday", I mean the Thursday next week.  When he says next 
Thursday he means the next Thursday to arrive, i.e. this Thursday.  We are 
both English, but I Cockney-born and he Yorkshire.

And let us clear up another misunderstanding while we are at it.  The other 
side of the pond you appear to be under a delusion that there is such a thing 
as British anything, including English.  Try telling that to the Welsh, the 
Irish and the Scots!
