Same arrangement as last year: it can't to my mind be 2020 Week 1 till we're in 2020. So till then, this is 2019 Week 53.....

Phil is correct. Week 1 begins on Wednesday.

£400 for a major car service this morning. I think in future I may have to reassess my long-standing loyalty to this particular garage. Quick check shows it would have been £160 cheaper at Halfords. That would buy a lot of toys.

New tyre needed on the car this morning. £45 because someone between here and Hulland Ward left a big screw out in the road.
Then on to IKEA to look at baby things and ordering a sofa bed for baby visitors.

Phil is correct. Week 1 begins on Wednesday. -Ralph *Shuffles nervously and looks around* I remember looking all this up years ago but I can't remember what the definitive answer was. Week 1 is the week containing the first Thursday of the year. However I'm not calling anything 2020 till it's 2020! Similarly next year may see a reuse of Week 0 at the start

Ah, that was it. So by accepted definition in diaries and calendars etc this is now week one, but we stand defiantly as a Hub United in 2019 still.
Phew.

There is no such thing as Week 0.
How can nothing exist?? Phil has gone mad.

Oh yes there is.
Week 1 is the week the first Thursday is in.
But the 1st, 2nd & 3rd of the month could fall before Week1. By definition they are in the new year not the old one. So, in that case, they are listed here as being in Week 0. 2021, 2022 and 2023 will have week 0s.

I'm all for adding extra days into weeks, as long as they're weekend days.
