: Historians can't even agree on the evidence for a historical Arthur, so there is going to be little consensus amongst them as to the ___location of Camelot. Therefore I am going to remove the sentence regarding Camelot.

:the George Foreman and Bowie references are accurate, but as far as I can tell Nelson Mandela has lived in South Africa all his life.

Any information on when/where/why they lived in such a place as
Gateshead? (not that it isnt great)

I would have thought that these references are to brief visits rather than residence. The big Gateshead hotel overlooking the river (forgotten the name!) is popular with visitors to Newcastle. David Bowie has certainly performed in Newcastle, and Nelson Mandela is a freeman of that city, and was no doubt there for the ceremony. I don't know about George.
