I say scone, as in gone. Interestingly The Stone of Scone, as in The Stone of Destiny or as it is known in England, The Coronation Stone is *Scone as in Stone.

No, it’s The Stone of Scoon

Has anyone seen the price of eggs in Tesco’s?

The Stone of Scone (pronounced skoon) left Scotland in shame in the hands of an English conqueror. It returned in triumph to the winsome tunes of bagpipes, though it was guarded closely in a closed Land Rover over the bridge at Coldstream which was where King Edward I carried off the "stone of destiny" in 1296

And soon to be restored to its rightful homeland in Perth!

At least it is in the right country, getting closer perhaps?

In 1996, the stone was officially returned to Scotland. Today, it is one of the priceless treasures on display in the Crown Room, visited by millions of people each year. The stone will only leave Scotland again for a coronation in Westminster Abbey.

The Stone is displayed alongside the Crown Jewels in the Royal Palace on the east side of Crown Square

To be strictly accurate, I suppose it ought to go to Scone Palace grounds but that’s not very convenient so Perth is the next best choice. We used to live in Scone.

Unfortunately my Russki is too Rusty for me to remember much more than hello my friends, it’s not sunny here today.
And I dare say I haven’t transliterated in the correct manner, assuming there is one.
I really ought to give myself a bit of a refresher course. I still have somewhere the original tattered copy of the Penguin Teach Yourself Russian we were given before the summer hols pre 5th form, and told to learn the first 5 chapters before September.
