Sir, – Perhaps some all-Ireland unity on the pronunciation of “scone” might be achieved if we follow the advice I received in the restaurant at the Blasket Centre-Ionad an Bhlascaoid, Co Kerry. “When you’re ordering a scone it’s pronounced as in ‘cone’, when you’ve eaten it, it’s ‘gone’.” – Yours, etc,
