I hate the ****ing Archers, all that huffing and puffing when the phone rings or when lifting a spoon or something equally mundane.
quote:
The pronunciation of the word [scone] across the United Kingdom varies. According to one academic study, two-thirds of the British population pronounce it /ˈskɒn/, rhyming with "con" and "John", with the preference rising to 99% in the Scottish population. The rest pronounce it /ˈskoʊn/, rhyming with "cone" and "Joan". British dictionaries usually show the "con" form as the preferred pronunciation, while recognizing that the "cone" form also exists.[1]
The word scone derives perhaps from the Middle Dutch schoonbrood (fine white bread), from schoon (pure, clean) and brood (bread).[2] The Oxford English Dictionary reports that the first mention of the word was in 1513.

The only place in Scotland you can't get a pint of milk after 9.00pm....only corner shops selling Japanese earthenware and Gainsborough high-quality prints...
The residents there ask visitors to wipe their feet before stepping out of the car...
cheers,

RE: bulerias the "new rumba"? (in reply to JieXian)
quote:
Whats the difference between Bulerias/Buleria or Solea /Soleares or Alegria/Alegrias.
You can use the "s" at the end to refer to plural. Soleares I believe is the plural of solea. I say, "I want to play some buleria," even though others say, "I want to play some buleriaS."
