Soft Mick.
Who was 'Soft Mick'?
As in "look at her, she's got more shoes than Soft Mick!"
lt is very localised, certainly in Ossy it's still said, and l think in Accrington. ln Blackburn though they've never heard of him. Perhaps he stayed close to hearth and home.
I have this picture of a weaver mincing to the mill everyday in a different pair of clogs, please if anyone knows an origin let me know.
