Re: Soft Mick.
My vision of a mincing shoe fetishist mill worker. is looking unlikely. Mick as an lrish name is looking good, so is the idea he was a peddlar of shoes or a cobbler.
l could never say agate, even in Blackburn they wouldn't understand. ' She was a what?'
'Skenning Emma' was obviously too myopically disabled to find Ossy as we've never heard of her, [though it made me howl.]
'Soft Mick' isn't just used about shoes though, it's any extravagance, 'She's had more men than soft Mick.' What's that all about?
Theres also 'F***ing Ada'. but l think she was more widely travelled, and isn't local, but the mind boggles.
