One of the Geico commercials shows a group of people around a dinner table with the Geico sitting at the head of the table.
The Geico speaks and one dinner guest says, I think your accent is British and another guest says, I think it's Australian.
Then the Geico says, "Actually it's..........". The act of omission leaves you wondering what he was going to say.
What he is saying, IMO, is that it's not British or Australian but I couldn't begin to guess what he would have said...

Cockney to be specific...

I don't think so. Wikipedia says so, but I agree with Bodicea, it's a London accent, intentionally more refined than the Cockney. But not too cultured, so as not to sound elitist. Henry Higgins could probably nail down the precise neighbourhood.

OK Dag.....why can`t Cockney be refined in their own right?
I figure you and I are as refined as you can get on CS...

Surely speakers of true Cockney can, in the sense of protecting the purity of their speech. They've a pride in their own distinct culture, as they should, and their manner of speech exemplifies that.
To an international audience though, Cockney, with its distinctive dropped Hs and guttural stops, sounds generally less educated, and more working-class. (Compare Michael Caine's performance in Alfie to his performance in, say, A Shock to the System to hear the difference.) Geico doesn't want to sound blue-collar. It wants to sound like -- what else? -- an insurance salesperson. Not too ethnic in any direction, but not too refined or snobbish either.

For you to be a true "Cockney" you have to be born within the sound of Bow Bells. If you are not, you are not a "Cockney", you are simply a Londoner.
