Brain surgery leaves Yorkshire boy speaking like the Queen

I'm not even sure how to categorize this one, Brain surgery leaves Yorkshire boy speaking like the Queen. The boy had an abscess, an infected region in his brain. After life threatening surgery, he lost his ability to read and write and had to relearn it.

He had lost his strong Yorkshire accent and was now speaking the Queen's English.

"We noticed that he had started to elongate his vowels in words like 'bath' which he never did before," said Mrs McCartney-Moore, 45, a music teacher from York.


I'm glad the boy is doing well. Now, if he starts wearing dresses and dancing, he can sign up for Monty Python's Flying Circus.

But remarkably he was able to play the piano and trumpet much better than before.
