LOCAL
▸ noun: public transport consisting of a bus or train that stops at all stations or stops ("The local seemed to take forever to get to New York")
▸ noun: anesthetic that numbs a local area of the body
▸ adjective: affecting only a restricted part or area of the body ("Local anesthesia")
▸ adjective: of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood ("Local customs")
▸ adjective: relating to or applicable to or concerned with the administration of a city or town or district rather than a larger area ("Local taxes")

LOCALE
▸ noun: the scene of any event or action (especially the place of a meeting)

what about Pub for Local?

off the top of my head -
Locale is the location where an event occurs,
Local refers to locations near you.

Sue prob knows this anyway.

Hey Torvic, taking a local down the local for a pint? Probably need a local afterwards too.

JimD, Is that a local custom?

sue, locale is always a noun (meaning locality) whereas local is usually an adjective (although it can be a noun , eg when it is the pub).

Ok I meant round where I live, does that help the original poster?
