"RESEARCHERS are hoping that a woman who woke up after a stroke to find her Geordie accent sounding like Jamaican patois could shed some light on “foreign accent syndrome”. Lynda Walker, 60, shows the symptoms of a rare affliction that leaves sufferers with a different accent. Although Ms Walker lived in Canada for a spell, she returned to the North East, where she grew up, and never lost her strong Geordie twang. But when she regained consciousness after a stroke in March last year, she spoke with a different accent. Most people believe that she sounds Jamaican" ------------------------------- Probably quite a traumatic thing to go through, but :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Title: Foreign Accent Syndrome Post by: Sade on Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 15:50:53 :D I wish I woke up with a welsh accent. That would piss everyone off.

Deffo the strangest accent I have ever heard - funniest part was that her brother told her to stop pissing about when he first heard her! Title: Foreign Accent Syndrome Post by: OOH!

SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 16:18:05 Yeah, she went on a cruise, got sea sick, the ship got back to dry land but the seasickness wouldn't go away and she still had it 6 months later. Your reaction is to laugh but it must be horrible!
