Nice idea Squatter (my dear old thing), but I still think Mordor is Essex. There is a huge industrial research centre (Dagenham, I think), with a white minaret-style tower (churning out dangerous toxins) that you can see for miles (aka Barad-Dur). And Southend sea-front on a Friday night is as close to the Black Gates as you'll get.
Maril, I admit the Bill Gates-as-Sauron (or Microsoft as the corrupting music of Melkor) has legs. But I'm also swayed by Ronald McDonald as the expression of ultimate evil. He just has more inbuilt malevolence than Bill Gates, no?
