Sorry Mick.
Tintagel (tint-a-gel) means: It isn't a colloid in which the disperse phase has combined with the dispersion medium to produce a semisolid material.

Maybe.
Let's put it another way.
You have the limping, wounding, killing through the ankle, knee thigh heel etc. Achilles, Fisher King, Jesus and Arthur in some variants.
Then you have decapitation through beheading.
The Dionysian/Dennis Green man cult is the latter.

I keep getting reports of one near Padstow. Can anyone confirm this and please send in examples of any others you know about anywhere in the world.
There are some good ones in Devon as well.
