Not Wales or North Devon, but an adjacent county. Come more to the east.

Spot on, OM. The Black Dog Saloon at Cheddar, the road to the left leads up to the famous Gorge.

I don't remember the Black Dog Saloon - when was it opened and what was it previously?

Is that a rail at the edge of the pavement? Guess it's to stop the cowboys spilling into the street as they fall out the saloon doors having fisticuffs!

Sorry, forgot to pick up the ball, extra point for the name of the statue in the foreground.

On a point of order concerning the Brexit logo - it appears to show movement in the direction of (Europe?).
Should not the arrow point the other way?

The logo has the added benefit of pointing to the box on a voting form, which other parties have complained about to no avail.

Exit, Stage Left is the usual way of doing things*, which is of course House Right for the audience, so one could interpret the arrow direction as being the correct thing from the (voting) audience's point of view.

*..and also the title of a fantastic live album by Rush ;)))

Former eastern bloc city, the name according to mythology is derived from the local lingo to dig a well or scoop water.

You're going round in circles, but right part of the world. The country is a member of the European Union (EU), the United Nations (UN), the Council of Europe, NATO, and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Just a guess, a country near others mentioned, but not itself mentioned. Bulgaria?
