[Pow-Lo]

We’re away on a short break in West Wales with Twatbag and Tit head. After a walk on the coastal path, past the little place where Dylan Thomas did his poetry thing, we ended up in a dog-friendly coffee shop. Mrs P ordered scones (she pronounced it incorrectly, the singular rhyming with ‘gone’); she puts the jam on first, I put the cream on my scone (rhyming with bone) first.

Who was correct?

 

[Cougar377]

Mrs P.

Spot on pronunciation.

 

[Lee337]

You can't argue with that, it's the correct way to both pronounce & prepare it

Not only can you not pronounce it you get the jam & cream the wrong way round

 

[Minkey]

Definitely scone as in cone
Definitely jam on first then cream

End of discussion

 

[Malone]

I’m in Mrs. P’s camp, she’s correct in most things she says. (It’s always safest to not upset the memsahibs by disagreeing) and of course she is totally correct with pronunciation and jam on first.

Fact.

 

[T.C]

What does it matter? It all comes out the other end in one colour

 

[Lee337]

Unless you eat beetroot & sweetcorn.

 

[Duck n Dive]

We all know the only person who voted for you being correct was you

Where is the poll option for 'Minkey is correct'.

Where is the poll option for 'Minkey is correct'.

On a thread about parrots.

 

[Squag1]

What about Bath buns

 

[Martin L Batley]

As to pronunciation put that scone in front of me and its gone. Cream or jam first, depends if I'm in Devon or Cornwall and how much I want to annoy the natives.

There should have been a fourth option…

’pointless. Pow-Lo is always wrong. FACT’.

What about when he’s calling you a knob?

Point proven.

A bit like- if you throw a stone, it's gone.

 

[Jaws]

Although for the sake of a peaceful existence Mrs P should be pronounced correct, it is obviously you that has it right

 

[JayTee]

Sigh……. . Ffs, this was discussed ages ago and pure physics dictates you can get more cream on the scone without the jam underneath, the cream is the underpinning of the whole structure and the whole point of the exercise.
It’s called a CREAM tea boys and girls not a feckin jam tea.
Besides it looks better with a splash of colour on the top seemples.
I’m with poo plop on this one.

If it's a CREAM tea, why do you hide it underneath the jam?
