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.

    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).

          By the power of editing clarification I shall smight thee in twain.

          But for the record this is all cracking fun.
