He’s had more dinners than soft Mick.

Not heard this for years. My dad used to say this & I never really thought about it. I just looked online and found this out:

"The phrase to have more <something> than Soft Mick means to possess an extravagant quantity of that thing. This phrase may originally have referred to an Irish shoe peddler working around Accrington, East Lancashire, in the early 1900s, from the phrase "More shoes than Soft Mick". MLA Style. "Soft-mick."
