British Language
Download this site
Click on all the locations in turn on the UK map
Click on all the conversation links in turn
Listen to Brits (and non Brits in come cases) talking
Remember, you will hear Languages other than English as English is not the exclusive British Language as the very vocal Gaelic and Welsh speakers will quickly remind you.
Result: The British Language overall in all its many forms - accent, dialects, idioms, slang terms...the whole lot.... from John o' Groats, Scotland down to Land's End, England (well, Cornwall really) and from West Wales to East Anglia.
Cheers.

It's "CAN you tell me how?" Sarah. ;)
I know you're thinking you should use "may" because you're trying to make a polite request, but you have to use "can" when you're asking if something is possible -- that doesn't make "can" less polite, in this case.

Uriel, Can you help me about the sites(or anyone)?

No idea on British speech sites -- ask Damian.
"Spam" means unsolicited internet advertising.
It was also originally a brand of canned meat product that bore a vague resemblance to ham.

SARAH: Hi
There is little more, if anything, that I can help you with other than the information I've given you already, as well as another link below, connected with Drama and Literature here in Britain.
Both links give you just about everything you need to hear in the way of British speech patterns, all contained in a whole range of very varied conversations (link #1), from every nook and cranny of these islands, and more specialised sound recordings of Drama and Literature (as you requested) which you may find interesting (link #2).
Naturally, you will need audio facilities attached to your computer to enable you to hear everything - I assume you have these. If necessary, you will then most probably have to download the appropriate sound system, which is easy enough to do.
Again, here is Link #1:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices/recordings/index.shtml
Click on the link, then click anywhere on the UK map. Then, select any green dot on the map and you will see full details of that particular location in the UK. Click - and you will get all the information about that particular recording. Select the person(s) you wish to hear speaking in each voice clip, then click on "listen". Then....just listen. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Wander at will around the British Isles and you'll hear us all gabbling away in our local accents and dialects. Go to parts of Scotland and Wales and be baffled (or amused) by incomprehensible Gaelic or Welsh. Similarly, Glaswegian, Scouse or Brummie or Geordie in Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham and Newcastle or wherever...equally impenetrable. Why not eavesdrop on very posh ladies taking tea and fancy cakes in a ladies golf club in Surrey and listen to them gossip away nineteen to the dozen? :-)
Link #2:
Drama and Litererature in Britain
Collection of sound recordings - just follow all the links and click away again, and listen to a form of English you'll no doubt find easier to follow than all those in Link #1.
For quick and easy access, just add both links to your Favourites.
That's about the best I can do for you in your quest, Sarah. Good listening.
Cheers for now!
