Re: Soft Mick.
I have loved reading this thread, as with others here it brought back loads of memories.
I am originally from Eccles in Manchester and we used most of the terms that have been remembered here. As well as Soft Mick, we have Soft Ned, we used skrike, like crying her/his eyes out. Mardy meant somebody who cried all the time. Put t'wood int'h t'hole was always used. Dimp was a cigarette end that you 'pecked' and put in your pocket! "Dad have you got any dimps?" We also had Argie Bargie, and we all know thats an argument or loud discussion.
There are millions of them, but the most popular one in our house was, Put kettle on mother! regardless of who you were asking to make a cuppa.
