    I believe scones, or pronounced scones to the posh, come from southern England and are closely associated with Devonshire clotted cream. I do recall back it the 70's three Englishmen who often rode around on a trandem (a three person bicycle) actually mining said scones. Or perhaps my memory is going. Hope this helps.

    I vaguely remember the same story. Wasn't the mine closed after a violent incident that resulted in a lot of shed ketchup?

    Cheers
