Care to detail just to what you take exception?
Do you speak the same as the guys in your House of Representatives or The Senate ?
The members House of Lords use a "legal" based language.
In both cases,it is not reprasentative of "normal" talk.
I humbally beg your request to leave :wink:
Now, that respone strikes me as at once non sequitur and irrelevant. "Normal talk" was nowhere indicated as the subject of the topic author's query. Inferring the target was "Proper" British English, I directed the questioner to a resource which would offer a sampling of the diction, pronunciation, usage, and grammar of essentially formally educated native British English speakers.
The point of the topic author's question was addressed by my comment, which comment the topic's author specifically endorsed as most closely approximating the aim he wished to meet:

The site you recommended is great! I have tried out all 4 groups of meetings and
the House of Lords one is really the group with the closest accents I'm looking for ... [/quote]
That's good enough for me, and evidently for the topic's author. Your input and criticism are welcome, of course, however that my response to the original query might have failed to meet your standards is wholly beside the point.
Oh, BTW - Whether "humbally" or humbly, or even arrogantly, no one here ever need ask anyone's leave to leave; all here are free to do pretty much as each may see fit according to individual personal preference. Suit yourself.
