The story
A scunner is a strong dislike, and to be scunnered is to have had more than enough, of the weather or the bus. The word has been in Scots for centuries and still gets daily use. English says fed up, a little more politely.
scunnered
SKUN-erd[ˈskʌnərd]

Closest in English: fed-up, disgusted, sickened. None of them covers it.
