It's like scone, some people pronounce this as scon. I used to say look, cook, book but my husband says it's luk cuk and buk.I'm from the North West of England, he's from the South.I say bath he says barth, I say bus he says bos.I don't think it matters who is right it's all down to preference.

A relative from Southampton always seemed to say cop, instead of cup. My friend in London says cap.
I agree - seems to be where you come from that makes pronunciations different, although I would've thought that Scarlett could be right.
The scones one made me smile. It HAS to be SC-OWN, doesn't it???? The "e" at the end effects the first vowel!
