More Google Geolocation oddities

Sometimes Google really puzzles me. I just did a search from the UK, using Google.co.uk, selecting UK-only results, for “chatsworth bed”. (I was checking to see how Chatsworth bed was doing against the competition.) The Local results that Google inserted into the serps after the third natural result were:

Local business results for Bed near Chatsworth, CA, USA

Say Huh??? Why would they possibly think that would be relevant to me when I asked for UK-only results?

I was using Firefox. Strangely when I repeated the search using Safari there were no local results at all. Very odd.
