I just came across the word ‘mockney’ for the first time. Apparently it means, in short, fake cockney:

‘pronunciation of English by someone who pretends to speak like a cockney, in order to seem as if they are from a lower social class’

I like it. I don’t think we have an equivalent word in Dutch.
