    It's Scone - clue is in the name.

    Bizarrely when I lived in the UK - scone rhymes with gone was considered 'posh' but when I lived in Oz scone rhymes with cone was considered 'posh'.

    Don't even get me started on bath and garage.....

    That doesnt mean anything. The english language is riddled with such oddities. Other wise we'd say we "k-now" something, not that we "no" something

    The next important factor - Do you have butter and jam, or cream and jam? For me it HAS to be cream and blackcurrant jam. mmmmmmmmmmm

    Melted cheese on a scone? Why not be done with it and desecrate it with peanut butter!

    Raspberry jam is all I need..no butter thanks

    When you are thinking about eating it, it's Scone (cone),

    When you have eaten it, it's scone ( gone).

    This debate is as old as rocks. Why not invite the Yanks to impose a brand new name which we immediately adopt, as we did with cupcakes, brownies and cookies?

    This was never a proper debate, it was a thread about education, its purpose to show how wrong people are so very wrong, and wrong. If only the same level of intelligence and rationality could be applied to the Barrys vs Lyons debate. Sad how many actually think Lyons constitutes tea. Biscuits though! We could have a proper debate about biscuits. Bourbon creams and lemon puffs and those pink wafers. None of that Rich Tea muck. Digestives vs Hob Nobs!

    Well, being honest, Whoopsa had had a few shandies at that stage when she told the joke so she missed a few bits to the story. Still funny though. And even funnier that people think it's a caterpillar and not a centipede. EVERY time.

    It doesn't work as well over text because its all about the wordplay.
    A man walks into a bar with a giraffe. They both get pissed. The giraffe falls over. The man goes to leave and the bartender says, “Oi. You can’t leave that lyin’ there.” And the man says, “No. It’s not a lion. It’s a giraffe.”
    :pac:
    I'll get my coat.

    OP, when I see a thread entitled "Very Important - Please Read" in After Hours I at least expect nudity, bestiality and rampant deviancy bordering on the illegal. I do not expect ****ing scones (rhymes with moans).
