Same as yours OP, but I would pronounce it "glaykit".
Also, don't think it's local but I call dp a tadger on a regular basis.

Crapette yes!! Friday nights at Neros !! early- mid 80s?
sticky floor , dancing around the handbags...

I wonder if I know you ?

I once pulled someone who claimed to be a 'Galvaniser from Gosport' there !! to the chagrin of al my mates , who though the was an utter dish! .. (I didn't though, maybe that's why he chose me to dance with instead of them )

Rock Ape - RAF slang for RAF regiment people

Rupert and Rodney - slang for officers - Rodney's rose through the ranks but Ruperts came in as officers.

Pad Brat - child brought up on a military base
