Scone. Or Scone?

Hmmmm that question doesn’t have the same impact when it’s written down does it?

 

If it was asked verbally, it gets people all passionate and hot under the collar and insisting that the way they say it is the correct one.

 

So is it pronounced Skown or Skon?

 

Our family are firmly in the Skown camp.

 

Anyhoo we stopped for a cuppa and a warm up and the tea shop had these amazing looking scones - so we had one each. The appeal was, for some reason, no two looked the same - they were ‘all shapes’.

 

The best scone I’ve ever had? Can’t say for sure, but it must be close.

 

At one point Paul starting whispering something and wafting his hand near his face but I couldn’t make out what he was saying so I asked him to speak up. “You’ve got a big blob of cream on the end of your nose”…

 

Whilst we were in there enjoying the scones a guy walked in with a Shoei GT Air in the exact same colours (Colors?! Another pronunciation debate coming on) but different and amazing graphics. I like Shoei helmets - the last one stopped my head looking like a dish of spaghetti bolognese.

 

Now, how to pronounce Shoei?
