This is best collection of lots of contemporary accents spoken in English across the world http://www.ku.edu/~idea/europe/europe.htm

This British guy's take on the difference between American and "English" is quite intersting too. http://www.peak.org/~jeremy/dictionary/chapters/

Have at it lads and lassies huge variations Loads of fun for all the family
