I disagree that Cockney is spoken by working class Londoners. it's much more specific than that.

I can do a pretty good Cockey accent. I am a real Anglophile and have studied accents for decades. I loved hearing them when we visited the UK and we heard a wonderful array of them. I even understood our Liverpudlian cabbie. 😁

Some English accents are so thick that I wish the TV show or movie had subtitles.
