Re: Soft Mick.
Soft Mick was routine speak in Colne when I was a boy (early sixties), and still is. It's an interesting blog but we have not cracked it yet. more suggestions please.
About localising; do Barlickers (people from Barnoldswick) use Soft Mick? If so it probably means your roots are Lancastrian in spite of the coming and going.
By the way, Barmy Mick did the Nelson Markets as well.
