I listened to my telephone answering machine's automated voice and I was wondering do the models sold in England have an English accent ?

Cool thanks. Do they sound like one of the Beatles or like Prince Charles? Mine has a monotone no-accent kind of robotic sound.
I am in England, my VW Satnav sounds like Lara Croft, I intentionally turn the wrong way just so she talks to me...
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.
It's not too difficult to see why most American's impression of an English accent is a central london dialect. Most tourists only visit London. Outside of that, it's Prince Charles, Benny Hill, Rowan Atkinson & a selection of James Bond actors. Ringo's probably the most recognisable Brit drummer, but he's a Scouser, & a fairly weird sounding one at that (not that normal sounding Scousers actually exist), so he's best relegated to Thomas the Tank Engine scripts.
Whoops, did I say Ringo & Best in the same sentence Sorry Bernhard.
