As we seem to be having an evening of random threads (well, it is the international break after all), I'm going to call on NSC's collective wisdom to settle a debate chez Frutos - scone to rhyme with gone, or scone to rhyme with cone?
How strange, I had this exact conversation with the kids yesterday morning.

On a slight tangent, jam then cream, or cream then jam?
Jam then cream, spreads easier that way.

Shone
Gone
Scone

I grew up in Portslade (born in Shoreham) and always rhymed it with gone. Scone as cone sounds very posh, and wrong.

I grew up in Portslade and was born in Portslade. I'm not posh. I say scone to rhyme with cone. To me the way you say it sounds posh. This is getting interesting now. South or North Portslade?

I'm from Sussex and say it to rhyme with gone, my partner is a Northerner (well, Derbyshire) and says it to rhyme with cone.

Obviously a Northerner won't know how to pronounce it correctly, but the answer is it rhymes with gone.

Pronunciation??

I'd just noticed that and was checking through to see if anyone had pointed it out.

This might lead to some controversy..... now how do you pronounce that? (remember Monty Python)
