I1L2T3 10 #13 Posted August 2, 2017 It's pronounced 'scon' in Scotland to rhyme with gone. Not really posh, southern, or numpty! Rhyming scone with phone sounds very Hyacinth Bucket to me. ☺️ A poll was done a couple of years ago, 'scon' is the more popular pronunciation. http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/02/finally-its-been-revealed-how-to-say-scone-6229066/ It's a scon in many parts of the North west as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
silentP 10 #14 Posted August 2, 2017 Equally though you wouldn't say gone instead of gon. ...and then there's DONE which has a sound all its own. It's almost as if the South and the North reached a compromise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I've always thought that was posh. I say scone (and you can make that sound very common indeed ) I suppose the definitive answer would be - how does the Queen pronounce it!

Ms Macbeth 73 #21 Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Now I think scon is more Hyacinth Bucket! I've always thought that was posh. I say scone (and you can make that sound very common indeed ) I suppose the definitive answer would be - how does the Queen pronounce it! Hyacinth Bucket thought she was posh, but she usually got it wrong ��. I've no idea how the Queen pronounces it, but I'd guess scon.
