Not posted a poll for a while. Understandably a lot of chat about Game of Thrones at present, I am in the "never watched it" category. However I know that many of us like an imaginary world in which to immerse ourselves, so which is your fave. and why?

What about Brexitland? A place where it's always sunny, there's a pot of gold for every home and unicorns gambol in the verdant pastures?

Narnia - packed full of religious iconography and allegory, and when did that ever harm anybody?

Westeros.

I think I could be quite happy in either Dorne or the Vale of Arryn.

100 Acre Wood because it's based on a real place in Sussex, and i enjoy occasionally walking in the Ashdown Forest.

Four of the choices I've not heard of.

Definitely sounds like a fantasy kingdom Showing my age but the name fascinated me when I saw it on the local exchange code list in phone boxes!

Actually I used my memory and have just looked it up and it was the Sportsman! and I used to work for the brewery, another reason for my memory lapses. The Spotted Dog was in Dorking. But Mogador definitely has another worldly feel.

Sodor, naturally.

Feels just like home except the trains are more reliable.

There was one in Brighton for many years.
Possibly Brighton's first gay pub?
