A bamboozled English woman has described how she has quit her job after waking up one morning with a Welsh accent despite never visiting the country.
Puzzled Zoe Coles developed the new accent six weeks ago - assuming it would wear off. The 36-year-old is often asked if she's from Cardiff - when she actually lives in Lincolnshire.

"People ask me where I'm from and they start guessing Cardiff or Bristol and I'm not from anywhere - I'm from Lincolnshire."
Zoe previously worked at a Wetherspoon pub but because of her accent, she's had to quit her job. Zoe, who is mum to Zak, 16, and Brooke, 11, said: "I didn't want to go in with my new accent because the regulars would be saying I'm having them on.

"I thought it was best to leave and then I can always go back when I'm ready."
