We have the phrase 'every Tom, Dick and Harry' which is like that (UK)
If we're talking about a generic person it's usually Mr/s Smith or Mr/s Jones (near Wales)
Do you have "every man and his dog"? (Same meaning as every Tom Dick or Harry")
Yeah we do :)
In Australia we have Joe Bloggs, but it sounds English. Do you have him in England?
Yup, he gets everywhere
