No way. Me mum was born and raised in the north of England and always pronounced it S'kon - like "on" with an sc in front of it. 99% of all Scots pronounce it that way as do 88% of all Brits. I got the stats of Wikipedia but I also know that 100% of my family still in England pronounce it "Skon".
Fair one, now all back to my hom for some nice scons. We have a phon if you need it, and if scons arent your thing we have some cak left over. Its S-cone you bon heads
"S-gone." Without question. I lived in different areas of England for several years in the 1980s, mostly in Somerset, and I never once heard any other pronunciation.
Silly Americans who don't know any better say "s-cone." They also don't know how to pronounce "Worcester." (I'm an American, so no one needs to get riled up about anti-Americanism.)
In Cornwall (not Devon), the place where the cream tea was invented, people mainly pronounce it 's-cone', as do I. Also, originally the jam was put on first on a cream tea. I know this as, whilst I am from Plymouth, most of my family are Cornish.
Scone is usually pronounced as s-cone. Scone is a quick bread that can be used as a tea biscuit. It is usually served hot with jam and butter. It is a bread that is a little thicker than bannock. It is made of barley, oatmeal or wheat. Scone closely resembles a cookie, a North American biscuit. In the Commonwealth, scones usually include currents, cheese, dates or raisins. In the United States scones frequently include elaborate fillings such as buts, blueberries, cranberries and even chocolate chips. In Scotland and Ulster, potato scones are normally served fried. Scone forms a basic component of the cream tea. Slang terms for scones include 'scone faced' which means someone who is grim looking and 'scone cap' refers to a man's bunnet.
