RTFM.
See CAP 413 Chapter 4 Section 6 para 6.2.2. To save you the trouble of looking it up, it says
SAFETYCOM is a single common frequency and pilots should be aware of the possibility of congestion and breakthrough. It is particularly important when using SAFETYCOM that RTF transmissions identify the aerodrome name (suffixed 'traffic') in order to indicate the relevance of the report to other aircraft. Transmissions must be correct and concise.

Kindly RTFM yourself Spitoon: while CAP413 suggests adding 'traffic' to the airfield name it does not (as I was suggesting - as the Americans do) suggest to finish the transmission with 'XXXX traffic' as well as commencing the transmission with the same identifier.
This would avoid problems when one misses the initial bit of the transmission but then picks up that someone in range is approaching/downwind/landing at a strip which may be the strip you yourself are at or one close by.
In the example I gave I only excluded that it was our strip by the runway orientation given : no names were transmitted at all (yes I heard the entire message).
We have a slight problem at our strip as one pilot resolutely refuses to use safetycom..............
