COVIS-19 Newsflash

COVID-19 Newsflash

It’s the start of yet another week in lockdown and although we still haven’t been out, this is not a repost. You can tell because the lettering isn’t red! In our previous post entitled COVID-19 we told you how to distinguish between coronavirus symptoms and those of scone withdrawal. The symptoms of scone withdrawal are, of course, not quite so severe but can still be debilitating. This COVID-19 Newsflash is simply to let you see how a couple of readers have come up with ways of at least alleviating the worst of the effects. Baking their own!

The first is from a couple of local sconeys, B&M. They sent us a photo of M’s attempt at a batch of scones. B, who is presumably in need of a lot of sucking up to his much better half, wondered if there was a category above ‘topscone’?

Of course, there isn’t but if this terrible coronavirus situation has taught us anything it is that you have got to be helpful to others and sometimes that means introducing a bit of flexibly. We have therefore introduced the new “totallyeffinbrilliantscone” category for those in B’s precarious situation. Good luck B!


It is very much similar to the branded

The cervix opens (dilates) during labour, to enable the baby to be sildenafil generic india delivered. Though, this kind of canada cialis 100mg check these guys out is cheap, its work and regulated the best performance. The second is from S&B, our correspondents in the old town of Nice on the Côte d’Azur. The French, as you all know, have limited culinary skills and are therefore incapable of baking a proper scone. Instead, S&B have produced what they feel is an approximation to the real thing. Locally they are called ‘Scone Bagna’ and served with cold pastis tea! Scone Bagna from NiceScone Bagna from NiceFor French folks, they do look good and the presentation, of course, is perfect. But cold pastis tea is a step too far, as is the green stuff! Again, in an effort to be helpful and keep the Auld Alliance intact we are introducing a ‘topbagnascone’ category. Flexible or what? This surely shows that scones and sconeys are going above and beyond in their bid to combat this horrible isolation business. Well done everyone for triumphing in both of these new categories.

BREAKING:

Our Middle East correspondent has just informed us that in Tel Aviv they can now wander 500m from home instead of the previous 100m. Hurrah!

I still have £5.36 in my pocket. Hurrah!

Normal repost service will resume asap! Hurrah!

Keep safe everyone!

  1. Dear Billy and Pat,
    now the “Salty Scone” has been accepted in a bagnascone category, why not a burger Scone, a jambon-beurre Scone, à foie-gras Scone? Will I be rejected by the Scone community?

  2. I made my first batch this weekend! Being from Texas, they looked more like biscuits! They were not bad, but I think they need a little jalapeno and cheese. We will send photos of the perfected recipe 😉 Stay safe and keep up the great reporting!

    1. Jalapeno and scones Suzie?? Civilisation obviously hasn’t reached Texas yet!

  3. Well done everyone who has decided to make their own scones. They look great. One of these days we might be able to try them!!!!!

  4. Well done everyone who has an initial starting with B (or M or S). Long live the Lockdown International sconathon!!!

    1. Thanks Mairi, are you isolating or still doing your vagabond stuff across Aus?
