Garahge, not garidge. Trahnsformers, not Tranz-formers. Scowne, not Skonn. BBC English please. Let's not have any regional dialects sullying the air. Thank you very much.
Dear sirs: while you carefully debated phonetics in a most hilarious manner, I took the liberty of eating the scone, thus making the discussion purely academic. You're welcome. THE OPPORTUNIST

Is that like going into McDonald's and asking for a Fillet (fillit) of Fish and being rudely corrected - "a fillay?"
Only uneducated northerners (joke) should pronounce it Scon. Its scone, alwight? :)
Soft southern shandy-drinker here, I was born in Bedford and live in Kent. Three of my grandparents come from oop north though (Yorks/Derbyshire), perhaps that's why.
Northern coal eater and whippet shagger here. Never understood some of my fellow anthracite chompers obsession with scons, scone as in bone as my Vallay sorry, valet would say. :D

Really! But surely 'o' with an 'e' on the end create 'oh' :)
