BOUQUETS to the pleasant young female staff at IGA Portarlington. They are an asset to the supermarket.
PB, Portarlington
BUCKETS to jet-ski riders who came perilously close to swimmers and snorkellers at Fisherman’s Beach on the Sunday of the long weekend. Bouquets to other jet-skiers who stayed clear of swimmers on the Monday.
Read The Regulations, Belmont
BOUQUETS to Gull bus driver Neville for providing service above and beyond the call of duty. It was refreshing to find a successful local business that cares about its customers. Neville’s efforts after a stressful experience was appreciated.
Grateful Traveller, East Geelong
BOUQUETS to a courteous man from Bellarine Mower Service. He patiently fixed my mower late on a Saturday morning, charging only $8. I didn’t have enough to pay cash so he said to pay when I brought the mower in for a service. Such friendly, honest, quick and obliging service.
Too Much Oil, Ocean Grove
BUCKETS to the person who knocked off and broke the right-hand mirror on my car in Aberdeen St on 8 March. The least you could have done was say sorry. I’ve been unemployed and looking for word for the past nine months and don’t need the extra expense.
Patricia, Leopold
BOUQUETS to the saintly staff of Geelong Hospital’s emergency department for their brilliance through the March heatwave. As one of many who needed care due to the heat, I was in awe of their compassion and attention to every patient’s wellbeing. They are dedicated, wonderful people.
Melanie, Geelong West
BUCKETS to whinging neighbours for their over-sensitivity. If you want to live in a residential area you have to have at least some tolerance of other people’s lifestyles. If they’re not breaking laws or by-laws, too bad. Maybe you should consider a move to the country.
Not Too Noisy, Grovedale
BOUQUETS to Lisa and Anne at K-Mart Corio Shopping Centre for being so helpful and cheerful. They are a delight.
Happy Customer, Manifold Heights
BUCKETS to Latrobe Tce motorists in particular for using phones in peak-hour traffic. This has become so common that I can’t understand how there hasn’t been the biggest pile up of all time. Police need to crack down on this behaviour before it’s too late.
Commuter, Waurn Ponds
