Juliet, all of the listed hints describe a part of the NATO phonetic alphabet: Foxtrot, golf, hotel, India, and finally Juliet.

I wasn't have a go at you Knitty - you're more than welcome to post the answer. I thought people might struggle with this one, so I wanted to let the OP know that I had the answer, without actually revealing it.
Nice one on beating me to it lol :)

[pixie373]

Ah. Thanks peas. I thought waltz and went downhill from there!

[Peaspeculiars]

[knittynora]

No Problem Gizmonster. I realised you weren't having a go. I was just pleased that at long last I'd managed to get one right!!
