Brits United!

[Morrus]

A thread for us UKians to gather and chat about things which other folks might not find relevant to them.

If you’re British (by which I mean live in the UK currently) check in and say hi!

I’m on the south coast, near Southampton.

This forum has the world's shyest Brits. Yo, where the Brits at?

I don’t think I count, I’ve been in Canada for nearly three years.

Also on the south coast, but on the better end of the M27, Portsmouth

Are we taking over this thread??? Is this our Boston Tea Party moment?

Although I do enjoy scones. And I was informed by my Jersey Island born, extremely English (though raised in Belfast) former mother-in-law that it's pronounced 'skawn'. I changed my pronunciation from 'skown' based on this quasi-maternal influence. Apparently there is no pronunciation of scone that is universally accepted I have since learned. But I still go with 'skawn'.

For God's sake, man! Don't waste the tea! Throw marmite or something.

There are two conflicting and highly argued over pronunciations. Neither of them are “skawn”.

I'm using a jury-rigged phonetic representation. I assure you that I am employing one of the two embattled pronunciations.
