This is vitally important. I am told the sounds like gone one is correct, and the phone one is a northern thing used by northerners who think it sounds posh, and they are wannabe home counties people and somehow think people in the south say it like phone.
Southern softies say Scone as in phone,Yorkshiremen say scone as in gone!
