OK - come up with another phonetic for _G_ which is easy to understand?  (Guatemala counts nul point :)

I know this was done to death last year.   But the ICAO phonetics are designed so that English and non English speakers can understand each other in Q5 conditions.   If I always used the ICAO set I would have busted calls in most logs I work.

At least I don't  have to call you G _Tree_  LVP....   (One of the ATCs in Dundee tower  and I have a running battle over that one).
