'Locals'

Today I was privileged as a foreigner to Yorkshire in a strange and unexpected manner. The clerk at the corner News and Booze, shook his head after the woman in front of me left the store and said disparagingly, "Locos. What can you do?" 

I thought to myself, "lock em up." But then I realized he said 'locals' and we can't be incarcerating people just because they were born and raised in Leeds now can we?
