That survey is bollocks. I was brought up in a decidedly ‘orange’ area, but virtually everyone there used the ‘cone’ pronunciation.......and I’ve seen a lot of scones eaten (years of cricket teas in particular) ....and always went cream first. We also preferred a decent Chudleigh to a scone...

Mary Berry is posh, so she says it as in 'gone'.

Scone rhymes with cone - and cream teas were invented by us bumpkins in the Westcountry. Scone pronounced 'gone' is only used by middle/upper class twats having cream teas in hotels in London and the South East who have no idea of the heritage and traditions.

Yes, and absolutely, definitely not. Only the Pikeys from the wrong side of the Tamar haven’t worked out that the cream (which must be clotted) replaces the need for butter, so goes on before the jam.
