It's a unit of measurement they use on the other side of the water. It's 14 pounds.0 -

I'm assuming bone china is china made of bone rather than porcelain?
And I have to admit...I've never known what a scone is but I've always imagined it's a distant relative to an ice cream cone.0 -

This is hilarious xD
@Carlos_421 A scone is like a little dense cake, a lot of the time they have raisins in them and are usually eaten with jam or cream while drinking tea.
I'm english but living in Spain so don't really have access to scones, but the whole "english people drink a lot of tea" thing is definitely true!5 -

Ooooh, scones. With clotted cream and jam and a nice cup of tea. Drool.10 -
But the question is, cream first or jam first?1

I do cream first with a dollop of jam on top.1

That's hardly as exciting as what I've always imagined.
I've always envisioned a waffle cone folded taco style filled with ice cream and birthday cake.
I think my idea is better.6 -

The English screwed it up for us in America. Wished we would have used the metric system for measurements. It would have been so much easier in calculations. The only things they want in more pounds in the UK is money.
