Shouldn't it be "A load of old cobbler's" (ie with apostrophe)?

Well, shouldn't it? The article states (no doubt correctly) that the expression is Cockney rhyming slang, derived from "Cobbler's awls", ie with apostrophe. So shouldn't the expression also be so punctuated? 79.97.186.190 (talk) 03:21, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, because that's not how the sources write it. Philafrenzy (talk) 06:29, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
