Nice. Please can I suggest 'John Carpenter's Escape From New Milton'?

Where exactly did you spend your formative years? This post includes the only online reference to Sway I've ever seen...

A fine idea, but too fantastical - as you surely know, nobody has ever escaped from New Milton.

And I'm Bournemouth all the way, but I've got friends in Sway so I spent an alarming amount of time there.

My favorite out of yours was 'Poole Harbour'
