"Scon" or "Scone"?

Scon and I'm from Buckinghamshire haha (agreed on by my mum from North Yorkshire and my dad from London)
Scone as in moan.
Scone.
Does it depend where you're from? I live in Derbyshire and round my area I've never heard anyone use 'scon'

I don't think I've ever heard it pronounced 'scone' here in Edinburgh - perhaps it's one of these regional variations?
But, the real question should be; jam with butter or clotted cream?

It's got to be clotted cream hasn't it? It's just more British

Well, must not be a regional thing then :P
I don't think I've ever mentioned that word in my life.
scon for me. I once said scone and my dad shouted at me for it.
As both are accepted, and don't change the word's meaning, it doesn't really matter.
The 'gone/cone' argument is pretty common, and I also think it depends on where you are in the country as to which pronunciation is more widely accepted.

But always with Cream and jam or not?
Not for a cheese scone.
Normally it is scone,
But once you've eaten it, it's scon.
