I need your help to settle this perpetual disagreement in my home. I'm team 'skon' whereas my husband is team 'skone.'

Some context, we are not native to the UK so I will humbly accept consensus.

Didn't think we'd be getting to the drama quite so soon!

I'm in the south west and I say it like 'cone' with an s at the start. I view the other way as being posh, but oddly enough it's the other way around for people in other parts of the country.

One of the things I love about the UK is the diversity in terms of accents, it's so rich

I had a feeling what I was walking into with this question.. Can't say i expected the draw it's turned into though!
