British accents

British accents
I thought I would put this out there for the real English folk on this forum. How many English (country) accents are there. From the the people I have come across working customer service and playing MMOs there seems to be three. The traditional London type accent, the new castle type accent which is lighter but spoken fast, and the Oxford style, which is the brand Dawkins and hit hens and many academics seem to portray. What do the actual British people here think?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
