It's pretty simple really.
(Cannot believe there's PPRuNe's in here discussing the matter. "I recorded the brief version and it took 10 seconds...then I recorded the longwinded version and it took 12 seconds" - find ANOTHER interest! (Irony noted))
A rather dogmatic post there, 737pnf.
Are you able to quote the precise bits of the AIP to which you refer? So far as I can tell - happy to stand corrected - all AIP says authoritatively on the subject of the content of broadcasts in the vicinity of aerodromes in G is:
The standard broadcast format is:
a. {Location} Traffic [I got this wrong above. “Traffic Richmond” is wrong. “Richmond Traffic” is correct.]
b. {Aircraft type}
c. {Callsign}
d. {Position/level/intentions}
e. {Location}
Para (d) is where all the ‘creative licence’ is taken.
