When denoting an event to happen a week on Thursday, "Thursday week".

Definitely a Britism, as is "a week on Thursday". Both are better constructions than our "next Thursday". That inevitably starts a discussion of whether one means the next Thursday to come, which is not "next Thursday" but "this Thursday", until somebody breaks down and figures out the full date. "OK, you mean Thursday the 23rd." "Yes, next Thursday."
