Down south we pronounce the words as follows :

Scones = sk-on-z
Bath = Baa-th
Graph = graa-ff

No singular for Skown then on the Hamble (which we pronounce B.r.o.o.k up 'ere by the way

) Plenty of timber around I expect

Sk-on is the singular.

The Hamble ?
Don't like yachties .. couple of nice pubs there, but they're normally full of tossers.
The New Forest, on the other hand, is wonderful in every way

Bloody posh suvverners.

In Briz it would be:
Scown, Baaff and Pie-chart.

Scone is con with s in front
Bath as in Kath
Yes, it's 'bait' in the NE.
On the subject of pronunciation, I get unreasonably narked when 'th' is pronounced 'f' and 'k' is added to something i.e. somethingk, nothingk etc
or should that be noffingk. I fingk it might be an Essex or Cockney thing. I'm now getting agitated so I'm off to a dark room to wait for my carer.
I suppose this is a case of pots & kettles given the way we taak up here!

The 'Essex' or 'Cockney thing' is, I think, 'Estuary English'. It is diabolical. One of the things that grates with me is, they don't say 'ask' they say 'aks'.
