    		It appears that one of many legends about the character links Old King Cole to the grandfather of Constantine (the Great) who was born in York. Most legends link him to the town of Colchester in Essex.

    		Nice One gmack! Yep, a little too easy I know but after the last few that no-one has attempted I thought I'd better dumb it down a bit. A juicy yay for you for being so quick anyway!
