Many, I know.
However, one thing I cannot get my head round is when the Mrs saves half burnt out batteries - or in fact saves batteries that she is unsure if they are burnt out or new.
This obviously only spells disaster and when you try and find a triple A you realise that its fecked. You can go through a box of them but to no avail.
My rule is that unless it is still in some kind of cardboard sleeve then it gets thrown.
Mother is worse, she has an A2 jiffy bag full of batteries that are completely useless. |  |

Are you insane??? Who hangs the toilet roll with the leaf facing the wall??
Next thing you'll be saying is that it's cream then jam on a scone! |
It is cream first, nuts to do it any other way. Do those nutters who do that also put jam on their toast before butter ? |  |

Correct on both bog roll positioning and scone order of business.
In civilised society, scone is pronounce ‘skon’ by the way, not ‘skoan’.
Sorted. |
Pronunciation NOT sorted.
My wife's family thought 'skoan' was working class (like them) whereas my family (also working class) thought the reverse. In Scotland I believe scone has a stone, and is pronounced 'scoon'. |  | | |

That doesn't even make sense!
You can smooth the jam on and then spread the cream over the top.
But it's not possible to do a good job the other way around.
Unless you just dollop the jam on top and hope for the best like some sort of heathen. |  |

*sighs*
Obviously butter goes on first because it's the firmer texture and creates a more solid foundation to then put the jam onto. So logically jam has to go onto the scone first because the cream is so much less structurally sound.
I hope you've never been in charge of building a bridge!  |  |

Oh it is. It’s pronounced skon in decent society. As for that bit of old rock in Scotland, what relevance is the pronunciation of that? Unless the locals are going to slather a bit of jam and cream on it and start chomping through it. |  | | |

I can't believe you are collecting up arrows for that, this place is full of wrong 'uns. | |

Hoppy's the expert. Until we have his confirmation of how scone is pronounced, it's definitely not sorted. | |

I can confirm, it is, as churchman already said, pronounced skon, rhyming with gone. | |

100% it's skon.
Anyone who pronounces it scone like cone is an absolute pervert. |  |

Who on earth still has Lurpak?
I've just sold our last tub and booked a week at Centre Parcs with the proceeds. |
Tesco have it on offer atm.
Buy two get a bottle of Dom Pérignon free.
No, it's on offer at £4 this week so closer to its regular price of £3.79.
Although I usually wait until it's offer at £3 and buy a couple at a time, it's looking like those days are sadly gone. | |

I've always pronounced it as 'scone', definitely not 'scone' - that would just be madness. |  |
