Needless buying.

A WOMAN From Lincolnshire has revealed how she woke up one morning with a Welsh accent, despite never ever visiting Wales.

Thirty ­ six ­ year ­ old Zoe Coles, reported that she woke up about six weeks ago and was shocked to discover that overnight she had developed a new accent, wrote a news source on Friday, July 14.

The Lincolnshire mother of two had hoped that it would wear off, but six weeks later it hasn’t. Now she is often asked if she’s from Cardiff, and until the mysterious overnight phenomenon took place said that she’s never been able to do a Welsh accent or roll her Rs.

Because of her new condition, she has also suffered from anxiety attacks and said that she feels like she ‘doesn’t fit in anymore’ because of the way she speaks.

Zoe, who is mum to Zak, 16, and Brooke, 11, and worked as a bartender at a Wetherspoon pub said: “When people would get drunk, I knew I would be a target. I tried to drive to work one day and I just had a massive anxiety attack and I just couldn’t go in.”

In 2022, Zoe was diagnosed with Functional Neu­ rological Disorder (FND). Because of this, Zoe often has ticks, memory problems, slurred speech and chronic pain in her legs.

However, there is also a condition known as Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS), an extremely rare condition where people develop speech patterns that are taken as a foreign accent.
