Its a shortening of the word "old" whereby one is dropping the d.
So surely the apostrophe should come after ?

U say 'ol
I say ol'
I would think it's ol' as the apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter as in "don't", it replaces the o.
If you going to type the ' then you may as well type the d.
" ol' " is part of an expression.
But you typed " 'ol " which was the complaint in the first place. It's all your fault, Jamie. Let's have an extended thread about how you were supposed to type " ol' " but instead typed " 'ol " and then tried to say that you typed " ol' " when really everyone knows that you typed " 'ol " which I can only assume is supposed to be Old English for "mol" which is greek for "mole" which is Latin for "My friend used to look like a mole when he took his glasses off. He would squint and scrunch up his face and get really defensive and try to say he didn't look like a mole" but he did. Sometimes " ol' " is spelled "ole" which really confuses me.

I think 'ole is used to denote whole. Could you be confusing this with the 'ole you are talking about?Quote:

.
Or it could be 'ole as in "Look mate, thas a deep bloody 'ole you're diggin'."
In which case, calling England an 'ole could be fairly insulting.
On the other hand, you could just skip the letters all together.
