   @Gnomeshatecheese I went for the first one, because that is what it means, but I think a lot of people would do it on the day and call it ok.
   
   me, I'm still irked by the email sent 3rd March that said they (dept staff) would be in touch "soon" to arrange a stakeholders meeting. and this is now 1st May. There was a report to be published "this month" said in Feb. It was circulated at 5:30pm on the 28th of Feb. Which is pushing "this month" to it's limits.
   
   wanna lay a bet when we'll get the next relevant and promised report due "in May"

     @FeartnTired Someone suggested that people use it as a synonym for “by the end of business hours on x day”, just skipping the middle part.

     Much like “half past four” turns into “half four” when the middle word is left out.

     @FeartnTired My impression is that is what it means.
     But my observation seems to be that people behave as if it means “on that day at the latest”.

     So I thought I’d ask.
