But how do you pronounce 'scone'?
Those who rhyme the word with gone predominantly live in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North of England, whereas those who pronounce it like cone are found in Southern Ireland, London and the Midlands. The rest of the country is a mixture of both.

So all these years, we southerners have been mispronouncing that ancient relic that should be named "The Ston of Scon"?
