i am one of those 3rd

but i dunt give a s**t about keeping up with no Joneses

i believe scone to rhyme with gone is only said by those who are trying to prove that they are street or hardcore, or down with the people

except northerners, they're allowed to say scone like gone cos that's how northerners talk when they talk naturally

geordie maggots saying wor not our (and our rhymes with car not flower) is wrong though
