I'm seeing a lack of tea and scones in these comments. 🐻

@bearinthehalfwayhouse Ah, but how do you pronounce "scone"? (Served of course with clotted-cream and jam.)

You've a choice of three ways depending on regional dialect! :-)

@ArishMell well I pronounce it the same way as youd say "gone" I suppose.. I am a northerner I'll admit. 🐻

@bearinthehalfwayhouse :-)

They always rhymed with "cone" in our family of Midlands ancestry; a region that presumably also gave us "pikelets" for the perforated dough-cakes usually labelled "crumpets"!
