Rhymes with gone! 
Neither, my scones rhyme with *on*, if I ate them, that is.

Agreed, rhyming with ON.
Also like the pic posted with jam and cream, yummies..
Rhymes with 'bone' for me. But my hubby says it as in rhyming with 'Gone'
It's scone as is 'on' for me
And yoghurt as in rhymes with 'go' and not 'paw'

There's some more in the HL thread Skylark
Those cream teas are done allllll wrong!! Every good devonshire maid knows that you put as much cream as you can fit on first and then the jam. 
Oh, and it's scone as in gone.

How do spread the jam on top of the cream?
Charli... I can't vote because everytime someone asks me that question I forget how I say it, and when I try both ways they both sound right.

No spreading needed, just use a teaspoon and dollop it on top.
One more for the 'phone' vote ..
On

Ahhhh I see.
Tesco finest range do them like that. I have to rip them apart and start from scratch. The jam needs to be even or it makes me 
I'm leaning towards "on" 
You know it's the right choice Ducky
Mmmmmmmmmm love scones! I haven't had any for ages, i will have to make some now.

They are best when you do them yourself. I can eat a whole tub of clotted cream with just a few scones.

I like my scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam.
Pronounced to rhyme with 'alone'. Totally wrong, I know. But who cares - I don't talk with my mouth full.

You spread the cream, thickly, and then plop a big dollop of jam on top.
