Jill Mckerrow is a kiwi who has never flown - never left New Zealand. But because she has a rare condition, she speaks in a rainbow of accents, none of them kiwi.

In May 2008, she had a stroke, giving her the rare condition known as foreign accent syndrome - something believed  to affect only a 100 people worldwide.


Most people with her condition speak in only one new accent, but Jill has a variety - American, Irish and Scots, depending on the mood.
