Cockney

Cockney is a type of English accent used by some people in London, England. It is a very sing-songy sort of way of talking. People who speak Cockney sometimes use jokes and rhymes to make their conversation more interesting. Cockney English usually sounds like a mix of old English, Irish and sometimes even American words. You can usually spot a Cockney speaker because they have a very distinct way of talking.
