Jemaine and Brett!

Missed that

Really? I thought 'scon' was the common way. I think of 'scoans' as being served on silver trays in country mansions.

"Now we know!"

P'raps Yorkshireland folk tried to emulate posh people many years ago as a jibe, then it stuck and that's why I think of it as the common way now.

Or sumfin.

How do you pronounce 'cake'?

'Quack'

I thought it was 'phelembidoop'.

Maybe in Yorkshireland. Down these parts it's a lovely cup of too and a slorce of quack

A slorce of quack does sound nice.

But a phelembidoop up here comes in a giant Yorkshire pood as a plate.

Ah.

Do you mean a sworrsswarge?

Sworrsswarges are terribly, terribly porsh. Very tasty no matter how it's pronounced though.

Go on. Har har and slap your thigh.

Har har!

*slap*

Spiffing

Now get me a quack.

Oo...



And there's a quipquack too

N'awww. Thankyou.

Big puffy ones.

I say, I say, I say...

What's the fastest cake, sorry, quack in the world?









































Scone!




















Yeah, anyway, the s'con/ scoan thing was the source of much humphery in our family...well, between my mum and Yorkshire grandparents anyway

Puds! Thankee *chompscoffglompmoonchmeenchmunch*

'Scone'

Are you a sconner or a scoaner Mrs B?

Ah, posh pronunciation.

(Delivered by a beardy too. )

(That's the sort of beardy you need to be to make puds. Whereas it just gets in the way if you're more on the eating side of things )

(Handy place to keep snacks for later though).
