You did mention the thread shouldn't be derailed with Irish pronunciation so the answer must be aitch! |

I suggest in honour of our former midfielder we all start saying "scowen" just to be consistent |  | | |

I am aghast at the number of (presumably) Londoners who can't pronounce Marylebone properly!
Here's another one. What's the correct pronunciation of Chelsea? |  |

Both Native American names, the ‘saw’ is the correct pronunciation. The spelling was a cock up in the 1800’s. Kansa are a tribe in that part of the country. |
Thanks, Boston, I've always wondered why. | | | |

I've found that elsewhere in Ireland. Certainly includes the Ulster parts of the Republic e.g. Donegal but I'm sure I've heard it in Dublin.
The Irish pronunciation I always notice is "any" pronounced Annie. My sister-in-law has that one, and she was born and brought up in Perivale (Irish parents) | | | |

Yep I think we all say fil-em. And one is wan. In Kildare they pronounce their 'O's' as 'U's' so lorry is lurry and donkey is dunkey | | | |

 Not posh in South Sligo either Brian, definitely a scone. Anyone who says sconn, I say to them, 'What do you call that large pebble on the ground - a stonn?'
Definitely not posh enough for a 'Porsh', but love the way we pronounce that French car; Pew-jo |
Where in South Sligo Myke ?- we go to Lough Gara neck of the woods a lot a lot (sadly not at the moment).
On topic I can generally tell the difference between a west and south London accent but I cannot describe how. Anyone else get that? |  | | |

Okay, I'll make this easy.
Step 1) Start off with pronouncing the word "cone", as in traffic cone or ice cream cone. Remember how you pronounce it.
Step 2). Put an S in front of it, then pronounce the "cone" element of the newly expanded word in the same manner as Step 1.
