My misses!
But I'm sure it's mutual.

I have always heard it since childhood pronounced like as you suggest 'gone'. That is how my grandparents from very different areas pronounced it and obviously so did my parents.I could compile a list, that would show a disproportionately high level of a's b's and c's in the commonly grown vegetable world.
It might however have to wait.. But not forever.
I did once compiled two contrasting lists in order to establish the proper* pronunciation of scone.. So I do have form
And of course, we here are all agreed that it *should rhyme with.

But some will insist upon making it sound like gone

Why does my manager look like Kenneth from Benidorm? It's not her fault I suppose.
Yebbut tomatoes are fruit, rather than vegetables, innit!gourd, lettuce, parsnip, radish, spinach, tomatoes, yams ...
I'm going to have a bloody good rant now! I'd say that every time i go to the checkout till at the local Tesco i don't get a receipt. I can tell by the person's face that they're going to say "sorry,but it's not printing receipts". I then point out to them that if i have to bring something back i don't have proof of purchase. It happened again tonight so i asked for the manager. He came and like others blurted out that it's not working correctly. Yes i know that i replied,but what about my receipt. He was clueless. The cost of my purchase was 11 pound something. When i got home my total items added up to £10.33. Yes,i know 'it's only a quid',but how many others are being ripped off in this way? A damned lot i'd say!
I more or less buy the same things every time,so i know how much they are. I also bought some 'yellow sticker' items,so they had the price on. The only not too sure price wise item was a banana which i guessed at 20p. I'm thinking the 'rip off' was the Dairy Milk Pots Of Joy,which were on the shelf at half price,but as quite often before when i question it,'the till won't have been programmed to recognise them as being half price'i'm told,so it marks them up as full price. This firm must make millions a year ripping unsuspecting customers off!How did you add up the cost of your purchases at home, without a receipt ?
Whilst bananas are a fruit and can be termed as Vegetable.Yebbut tomatoes are fruit, rather than vegetables, innit!
Mine isn’t based on activity, or lack, more a universal science thing... is it just coincidence that the moon size/distance when compared with the suns size/distance, permits solar eclipse?
Because my understanding of mass and orbit seems to imply a further factor to be included.
I’ve never been able to locate a suitable explanation.
If the moons mass were greater, but it were smaller.... ( more dense) then it would be farther away from Earth, still in orbit. The solar eclipse might be much less... interesting.
The reverse is true of course too... we might have a close lunar orbit were the moon to be less dense, which again, would remove the solar eclipse awe.
So, is it coincidence that the current status exists.
Are you the Queen?And of course, we here are all agreed that it *should rhyme with.
