I agree smouse; puzzles me when we get 'Local Crossword' - local to where?

[Proximus]

Thanks Captain2. I actually like your answer Emeritus but I know the setter and I think it's way beyond him; I might need to grovel later and I will.
Apologies to Smouse, Captain2 and any others who might feel aggrieved - local to Kendal.
