Didn't know prune scones existed, only seen cheese, butter and raisin ones before

Nicky91 · 03-10-2017, 10:58 AM

scoan i think

user104658 · 03-10-2017, 11:14 AM

See, to me, "scoan" doesn't sound like a posher way of saying it - it sounds like a Glasgow Ned trying to say "Skon".

"Aye pal I had a pure gid yin last night, a wee bottl'ae buckfast and wan a they fruit scoans. Pure magic min."

Yeah if you said Scon here you would sound English therefore posh

If you come from Kerry or West Cork, you would pronounce it Schkown

Well a Cairngorm is a gem or

But i was referring to the Cairngorm mountains, the highest range of mountains in the UK

Hello Niamh!

Imagine if this was me who had tried to have this joke with another member, you'd have deleted that in a second, wouldn't you?

Don't bother deleting it now, we all know Greg is only joking. I'd just like to be treat the same. That's all.

Oh Alf, ffs, someone reported your post but not this one, i don't actually go round reading every single bloody post you know. Your post was deleted, you weren't infracted or even warned, is it really that big of an issue for you?

I was going to say what Niamh said Alf, your comment was probably reported, you on the other hand probably never report anything
