I had assumed, wrongly in part, that as libreoffice.org recognised my OS and environment and offered me the appropriate help-pack that it would take this into account when making the installation. But it fails to set the Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages > User interface to the value required. The Locale setting was correct [UK] as was [mostly] the default document language. Mark was correct, in fact. It was sufficient to change the User interface to UK to agree with the help pack and all worked ok. I made a series of installs and removals (deleting the User AppData each time) to confirm this. I notice that the Office Suite contains English, French and Spanish spell checking extensions as default. LO may have supposed my requirement for English and French from my OS and environment but I don't know where it got the idea to provide Spanish checker extensions from. On one of my trial installations, it somehow got my default document language as Spanish-Venezuela and every time I started a new doc, the Default paragraph language was Spanish-Venezuelan.
