As a distraction from Brexit, I thought I'd check how you pronounce SCONE.

Do you pronounce it so it rhymes with GONE, or maybe you say it to rhyme with CONE?

Apparently a lot depends on where you live!

Gone. I’m in the South West.
I'm a "Gone" man, brought up in Lancashire which, I think, is more relevant than where you live now.
I'm a coner not a goner.
I actually differentiate between both pronunciations.
Like cone with a s preceding. All my posh Scots in-laws pronounce it scon. Suppose they are thinking about some old chair?
Scone's gone - Lancs
