Thanks.
No matter if you do this here, you're still above the rest.

High Wycombe?

It is related to height but does not include the word (or partial) "high" not anything like "tall", etc.
"Daft department" -- since anything sensible, is eluding me: how about Altrincham? It's pronounced "Altringham"; you can "ring 'em" on the phone as much as you like, but you'll still be at a higher ALT-itude than the rest...

OK, time for another hint...
Climb **this** and then do **this** to appear lower than you are... (not necessarily in order)...

Thank you but the more clues the better, etc...

Clue 1: Where a straight (and also a mixed-up) fruit can be found adjacent to two little north American locations.
Clue 2: Closer to home you could also find a condiment in this place, sort of.

Clue 3: Confused deliverers of fuel who, individually, sound like the answer to clue 2.

Indeed it is, well done.
Clue 1: Canada and California (CA) were the 'little North American locations, with the fruit obviously being 'melon' (or 'lemon, to mix it up).
Clue 2: The condiment of choice is 'Coleman(s)', anagram of which is Camelon.
Clue 3: 'Coalmen', anagram of which etc etc...

Thanks. Here's a rather obscure one for which I shall gradually give clues if required:
The row from which a Tyke might watch the flank of a 'spamcan' being painted in fifty shades of undercoat.

Afraid not......the word 'Tyke' is your first locator clue.

Sorry, it's a bit of a begger, as they say here in Yorkshire! It's a double-whammy.....a cryptic anagram!
It's a former junction between a double track main line and a double track branch line.....and had a busy steam locomotive depot until the mid-'sixties.

Barnsley? It's in Yorkshire, a row is a Barney in rhyming slang, L Is fifty in Roman numerals, and S could at a stretch be seen as the flank, or side, of the term spamcan, whatever (other than a container of processed meat) that might be.
"Far-fetched and far-fetcheder" -- I suspect that the setter is cunningly putting us off the scent, by implying that "Tyke" denotes Yorkshire. "Tyke" sometimes colloquially and affectionately refers to a child. I submit Kidsgrove. Kid = child - tyke. "s" -- as per @John Griffiths above. "ro" is nearly "row", in the "line-up", not the "quarrel", sense (it rhymes). The "g" and the "ve" before and after, contribute to fifty shades of grey, total indicating "undercoat": "g" being initial letter of "grey"; and "ve" alluding to Victory in Europe Day, 1945 -- forty-five is nearly fifty
