I grew up in the west midlands in a 'skone' household, but have since moved to Scotland and live with a scottish person who accuses me of being posh if I pronounce it that way. I generally use 'skon' now in the interests of domestic harmony. I do draw the line at 'skoon' though; that's just wrong.

When I was in home counties it was "sk-oh-n" but then I lived further north and later Gloucester area where it's been "sk-on". I don't care really so just go with the flow.

Definitely skone. Never heard anyone say skon. But I'm also on the west coast of the US, so that's likely a factor.

EDIT: Just noticed which community I was in. Oops.
