  Isn't that new chap on Beechgrove from Skoon @Fairygirl?

  I usually pronounce amelanchier with the ch from cheese, even though I know it's meant to be a 'k'.  I do love cheese though! 

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

  Oh yes - he is @Obelixx. I'd forgotten that.
  Scone is lovely. I pass through it quite often if I'm heading up that side [Perthshire, Glenshee, Angus etc ]  to walk. 
  
  I say it that way too @BobTheGardener. The 'k' sounds wrong doesn't it?

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  I usually say: "I'll have one of those."
   Saves all kinds of problems.

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  I’m the idiot who says scones rhyme with stones 😜. I’m not posh - I grew up in a mining village. 
  
  I have purchased flour and sultanas this weekend to make fruit scones. They’re the only ones I like.

  No pronunciation ambiguity in Spanish, the rules are very clear and rigid, and there is no aaah sound, only the short a as it cat. As for Catalán, for some of the sounds it’s impossible to get an English tongue around and the pronunciation rules are variable and mysterious. Still can’t say ‘eggs’ 

  Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
