I need your help to settle this perpetual disagreement in my home. I’m team ‘skon’ whereas my husband is team ‘skone.’
Some context, we are not native to the UK so I will humbly accept consensus.

But I am common as muck. I haven’t met an H I haven’t dropped and I’m proper Bermondsey and Millwall. And it’s a “skone”.
Spock has a cat. Your argument is invalid.
Hmm, I’m willing to entertain your evidence but let’s do an experiment.
“Hew mate, giz a skon”
“Greetings good sir, would you mind if I partake in one of your delightful skones?”
Yeah, nah, one of these is deffo posher than the other 😉
“alright geez, giz a skone”
“Good evening my good man. My name is Lord Ponsonby Smythe Smythe Smythe. Could I trouble you for one of those skons?”
Works both ways.
Edit: my friend, who I am currently drinking pints with, says “skon is more northern but posh and scone is more estuary”.
And he’s an expert and a cunt (his own description of himself).
I see we shall have to agree to disagree*, that second one makes no sense! :D
* but we’ll do it in a civil manner, 'cos this is a nice place
By the power of editing clarification I shall smight thee in twain.
But for the record this is all cracking fun.
Lol your friend is incorrect but I do appreciate his confidence (and your underhand ways)
