So far its 5 for stone and 5 for gone.

I say it as in gone.

And Michlo, I'm from Scotland, and the Stone of Scone and named after the place Scone, near Perth and is pronounced skun.

It depends on where you are from in the UK (and then who you copied it from if you're not from there :P).

 

Up in the North we say it as in gone.

 

In the South, since they think they're posh, they say it as stone.

Not true. I live near Bristol, and everyone around here says scone as in gone. And I think you'll find Bristol is in the south. (but it's not the Bristol accent! I live far enough away to avoid the accent.)
