I'm from Lincolnshire *High Sixes everyone* and say Scone (rhymes with cone :-)) ...but my Scottish in-laws say that that is the posh way of saying it (surely they've never been to Boston!!!)... ...Scone like cone sounds slovenly, whereas Scone like gone sound dreadfully "More Tea Vicar? Have you seen Mrs Timpkins topiary?" |
