Skone or skon?

i'm from north somerset an thats down south and i say SKON and my northern buddy says SCONE, so... :S lol

 

Scon, and it might be more to do with class rather than location.

 

Scone, always. Anything other just isn't British, Goddamit!!!!


You know just come back form the South West and didn't have any cream teas, I need a good slap across the face as a wake up call. I guess it's like going to Russia and not trying Vodka.

 

Is it true that vodka translates from russian to "little water"? like here have a little water. the uncle said not me

 

im from the north an i pronounce it "skon"

 

Bleedin outrageous, we're baking scones today, Gill's picking up some clotted cream from the shops and we've got some blackcurrant jam made a couple of weeks ago.

We're having cream tea tonight, PM your address and I'll send you one in the post.

 

I'm from the south and say scon,

 

Aye, I think he might be right. I've definitely heard that before. They're on to something those Russians like. Clever bunch

 

I'm from Cornwall. >_< It's a Scone.
With Jam and Cornish Clotted Cream. ^_^ It's the only way to eat one.

 

i like them with fresh sliced strawberries and clotted cream. i don't think there's ANYTHING better than that. it's just not possible.

 

fukkin' hell... gettin' a bit posh in sunderland these days eh?

Scon ... or Ducksinker.. depending on who cooked 'em...

 

It's not good to point out jokes, but then it seems I have to. It was a joke. I hoped that it would have come over naturally but in this case it obviously hasn't, nevermind.

You're right someone from Sunderland probably has never has said 'scone', and I guess most people up and down the country don't either; unless you're having a deliberate pop?

 

That was what passes for a joke in sunderland? Ah, jolly good... carry on then

 

Oh man, why did I ever start this thread? I am soooo hungry now Lets all eat strawberry and cream scones. Or should I say strawberry and cream skons? Hell who cares, they probably taste just as great either way.

 

just looking at that gives me a big warm fuzzy and makes me drool just a little.

 

I say either! Usually scone!

 

I say skon, which is odd I suppose, as I tend to speak in RP....

 

^^ Mm me too, but I guess you get it from your parents. My mum is from the west country, so... :tongue:

:drool: Let's have a skon party! This thread would be so much more fun if we were eating them while we debated the name. And we could all laugh at each others' accents:spliff:

 

Now here's the real debate.... Cornish or Devonshire clotted cream on those scones (scons).

 

I'd suggest the spelling should stay as scone, and there is nowt to beat Cornish Clotted Cream.
