Well my old Granny (frae Perrrth, nearby) pronounced it "Scon", although she wasn't very posh. --Old Dickens (talk) 01:42, 14 January 2013 (GMT)

It definitely sounds like more of an accent thing than a social status thing. Actually what it sounds like is someone attempting to sound posh and high class and failing miserably.--Zdm (talk) 07:27, 14 January 2013 (GMT)

No, it's just how the town and the stone (pronounced "stane") thereof are pronounced locally. --Old Dickens (talk) 23:24, 14 January 2013 (GMT)
No, it's gotten very confused; the town is pronounced "Scoon"; I don't know how baked goods got in here, that's another whole north-south debate. --Old Dickens (talk) 05:54, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
