    I AM a southern woofter, so I pronounce it scone, because my parents did basically.

    Btw, why do you Northerners keep coming down here if you think we're all woofters? [​IMG]

    I can understand saying it either way really, I'm not exactly sure how I say it:confused: It's the bath and laugh thing that really sets the grim northerners from the civilized southerners:tongue:

    if you're talking about Scone in Scotland, the original home of the Stone of Destiny and the site of the coronations of the Kings of Scots, it's skoon.
