A scone doesn't taste like a cake doughnut Starbucks :thumbsdown:

I like a real scone, but I'm not a huge fan of clotted cream (it's difficult to make without really fresh milk almost straight from the cow). Lemon curd and strawberry jam is pretty good with them.

Here that's a muffin, something you toast and have with butter or jam, there's not much to them really

No. Apparently there is no correct way to pronounce the word in a way it can be understood at a Starbucks drive through, our ultimate linguistic arbiter.

I wish I had the skills to re-dub the car-parking scene from Fargo! :D :thumbsup:
 
I suspect there may be an evil British Bond villain behind the scones thing. A simple pastry item, unleashed on an unsuspecting US public, with massive potential for causing conflict and civil unrest! Watch out for Scone Wars folks, potentially more dangerous than even a soccer-ball! :eek:
 
Speaking of villainous conspiracies, it seems Barrett has created a Lounge monster with his harmless dialect quiz! :eek::rolleyes: (And I suppose the "real" culprit is AFAustin and his innocuous question about the use of "scales"! :D)

This all brings to mind my grand tour of GB with a good friend many years ago. We met two lasses at a local pub, in Plymouth I think. One was a Brit, the other an Aussie. The four of us jumped a local bus the next day and toured the countryside. I remember well sitting in back of that bus trading synonyms and pronunciations between the three varieties of English. We all had a great time over that. (Later in that trip I went into the Scottish Highlands. Anyone who tells you that Highlanders speak English is daft!;):D)

I better not take the quiz if I don't want to get hurt. ;)
 
:D:D:thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
(How do you DO that, Barrett?? :confused::eek:
I recognize the scene, and I recognize the contents of the monitors, but I don't recognize those two elements TOGETHER!!! Amazing! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:)
