I know the phrase "soft mick" well from when I was a kid, my mother and her siblings used it in context of "she's had more illness than soft mick" etc etc. but they're not from Accrington - they grew up in Fallowfield/Crumpsall areas both around central MCR. their parents were Welsh mother and Irish father. just thought I'd add my tuppence worth as this kind of thing I find fascinating!

BTW I'm not right festered is one phrase I remember from Lancashire youth that I haven't heard since , meaning I'm not really bothered!!
