Well, I just heard Joanna Lumley pronounce it Scon and that's pretty definitive for me!

Crikey, wolf ... there really is!

I want to go there.

I've been to Middlesbrough. That must be almost there.

JJ, it is a small village near where I stay. Nowhere near Middlesborough, the wrong country in fact.

No, different country, but ...

If you've travelled from here to Middlesbrough, then ...

As a percentage of the journey, it can't be much further to Scone (otherwise you'd end up in ... the sea at the top of Scotland ... ??)

very important it is to, but don't go there to see the stone of Scone, JJ, it was with us after Ed 1 nicked it and it still sits under the monarch's bum at the coronation! However, we have let the Scots keep it between coronations in 1996, in Edinburgh Castle crown room.
