Who buys an answering machine these days? Voicemail is part of a mobile phone contract. Mine has a slightly alluring English posh chick's voice on it
It's called Estuary English, innit?I have a fairly 'stereotyped' British accent but with each passing day I get a little more South London...

The notion of a 'Brittish' accent is quite hilarious, as frankly, it doesnt exist. What people often perceive as the token 'brittish' accent is usually a non-specific mid regional English accent. Im from Scotland and I can say my accent is nothing like the 'Brittish' one, and, like many other reigions in the UK, our local dialect is so diverse its practically considered a language of its own.
Coming from Aberdeen our dialect (Doric) is totally different to other parts of Scotland although i do like the Glaswegian accent sounds great when you are swearing.LOL
If you've listened to the song you'll note that Steve Knightley is more concerned with American (and Australian) accents than Indian ones. The British folk community quite likes the odd Indian accent:

So it's still fair to say "British accent" based on what seems to be the usual we hear. In Oz, there are very minor differences in the various states but it's pretty uniform. The main difference is the range from neutral to very broad.
