Scone rhymes with bone.

scone - rhymes with BONE

When 'Up North' A
When 'Down South' B

I pronounce it rhyming with 'gone'

BUT

according to the rules of grammar, making the word rhyme with cone is correct.

I'm the same- lived half of my adult life in Norfolk, and half in Yorkshire, so tend to alternate between the southern and northern pronunciations without any awareness of doing so and probably one comes out more than the other depending if I'm with Southerners or Northerners
