"In this Britain you speak of, other than the lack of /Z/, does my sentence
contain all the other phonemes you use?  I'm actually surprised that I never
noticed this pronunciation before.  I've spent about a month in England, out
near Bristol, and somehow missed this word entirely."

You will hear both pronunciations in Britain /"g&rIdZ/ as well as /g@"rA:Z/.
Note that English English /g@"rA:Z/ needs /A:/ with a length marker since EE
unlike GA isn't isochronic, like Merkan.
