Can the Amazon Echo speak British?

Amazon Echo has come to the UK, which means the voice-controlled personal assistant Alexa faces a new challenge, proper English.
Not only does Alexa need to understand my accent, she also needs to know the different words that we use here in [UNKNOWN].

Alexa, what are [INAUDIBLE]?
[MUSIC]
Parrot's underpants, and undergo to cover his body, from the waist and insert him from the side.
