It's a 'scon' for me. Just as it's 'ston' when I'm weighing myself. (10 and half ston for those interested)
can see this turning into the great Teacake/Breadcake debate had some laughs in the office with this one. us in Central Barnsley call a plain teacake just a teacake,and a fruited or currant teacake is called exactly that. However, our friends from other parts of South Yorks namely Mexboro and Sheffield say a teacake has fruit in and a Breadcake is plain. Have we to compromise and call them Baps, I like Baps
It's got to be scone. When I was at uni this lass said that she thought scone was the posh way of saying it until she'd heard me say it with a long flat 'o' in my Barnsley drawl. They also think its hilarious that the posh shop of Wai-trose is instantly rendered proper Yorkshire by my pronouncement of Wait-rose.
