Buckets & Bouquets

Bouquets to North Geelong Transmission Service’s Ivan. He does a quality job and his follow-up service is out of this world.
Anne and Betty, Lara

Bouquets to Grovedale College, where two generations of my family have received a comprehensive and happy education. The teachers have always been wonderful. After a 14-year gap we found that six teachers were still there, which says a lot for the school’s reputation.
Melva Stott, Anglesea

Bouquets to Christian’s Bus Company. We missed the first half of The Rocky Horror Show due to a 15-car crash on the Westgate Bridge but Christian’s generously provided a free bus and tickets to a repeat show.
Leah, Clifton Springs

Bouquets to Classic Fireplaces and Barwon Plumbing’s Brad for their help and assistance in choosing and installing an awesome gas log fire.
Judy, Geelong West

Buckets to the media. There is no censorship on TV and in the cinema. They show ladies and girls in bras and underpants. There is no shame. They are corrupting young kids.
Anonymous, Geelong

Bouquets to a young man who rushed to our assistance when my elderly husband slipped and fell on pavement at the corner of Shannon Ave and Aberdeen St at 7pm on 11 June. No bones were broken.
Grateful Wife, Belmont

Buckets to a thoughtless motorist who deliberately ran over an injured rabbit on Torquay’s The Esplanade in front of my children and I on the footpath. The gruesome scene traumatised us. To make matters worse, our dog was nearly run over trying to reach the rabbit’s remains.
Shocked Mother, Torquay

Bouquets to Kardinia Framing’s Wes and Dave for expertly repairing the framing of a valuable sketch. Your care and service went above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks also to Dave for helping me to my car, carrying the sketch and opening the door as I carried my son.
Rachel, Werribee

Bouquets to the new Thai restaurant on Thompsons Rd, North Geelong. We enjoyed a beautiful, well-priced meal in a lovely environment with charming staff. Well done.
Lychee Man and Kaye, Bell Post Hill

Bouquets to Neater Peter Car Cleaning. Peter cleaned my car inside and out after reading the Independent’s story about my losses under the NDIS trial in Geelong. He did a fantastic job. I highly recommend his services to anyone. I will remember his kindness.
Rob Goodman, Grovedale
