I love that all the names of these places sound to me (as an American) like they could be mythical places out of Game of Thrones or something. Magaluf and Wetherspoons at Lands End? Amazing
- OJFord 6y agoHa, well I'm sorry if it's a partial disappointment, but Magaluf is a Spanish holiday destination for, stereotypically, drunk-before-they-get-there British yobs; and Wetherspoon's (aka 'spoons') is a large (down-market) pub chain (proprietor J D Wetherspoon). Land's End is pretty GoT-y though - that's the most Westerly place in England (possibly GB? Probably a Scottish island is further West.) though I'm not sure if the meaning was ever literal, or if it was named after knowing that there did in fact lie other lands out there.
