Ha we had this debate last night here in Dorset 50/50 split gone to bone.
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be gone as that's how to queen says it, and bone is the mock posh way.
I'm also pretty sure most people say it both ways lol
 
I'm gone - posh version is bone lol xxx
 
Bone!! I'm Yorkshire so everything is 'ooooooooooooohhhnn' lol
 
Bone! Hate it being said the gone way. You don't say stone like that do you so why does changing the t to a c make it pronounced different? Lol
 
Im scone- gone!! Im westyorkshire :)

What about plaster..
Does anybody say it pla(r)ster ?
My dads family do they're from the north east! But i just say plaster.
Ha its hard to explain! X
 
Scone as in gone... Think bone way is posh too :) xx
 
I'm the opposite I think the bone version is the posh one x

I'm with you ... Bone is the posh way to say it :)

I'm not posh so I say scone ... Gone xx

Haha yes I say plAster and not plarster x
 
Scone as in bone,

I say plaster as in 'p-l-a-a-s-t-e-r' but yet say bath instead of 'b-a-a-t-h' if that makes sense? Ha like the a in plaster is as if there is two. Normally you find that when people say it like that they also do the same with bath, pronounce it as if there was two 'a's'

Tomato, tamato
 
Just read my post and I am sorry it makes no sense! It's late and it's been a long day and I have Flu, so I hope somebody can understand it!

People sometimes say I talk 'posh' (I don't think so, especially after living in North Carolina for a time), but I say it like "gone".

It's scone (gone). According to the Oxford dictionary they did a survey to find out how many think it should be gone or cone.
The answer is that it is gone and that it is the Americans that started the cone pronunciation and people have copied them like a lot of words in our vocabulary now.
 
Scottish Gone for me too!
