Buckets and bouquets

BOUQUETS to Nathan, who works in Myer Geelong’s home entertainment division. When a product I purchased had not arrived on time he made a point of delivering it personally after finishing work. It was great customer service and greatly appreciated.
Two Happy Pensioners, Torquay

BOUQUETS to South Pacific Pools and Spas’ Bruce and Rod for helping me with my spa out of hours during the holidays. They were so courteous, friendly and sympathetic to my plight. They are the best.
Very Happy Customer, Clifton Springs

BOUQUETS to the person who left a $5 note taped to a bench seat at Highton Village. An attached note wished good fortune to the finder. The person responsible is commended for the thought, which made my day.
Very Fortunate, Highton

BUCKETS to cyclists who ride in groups that expand way beyond painted bike lanes, forcing motorists onto the other side of the road to pass. You arrogance is breathtaking. Imagine if drivers did the same to you. Stick to your lanes like we stick to ours and everyone’s happy.
Angry Motorist, Torquay

BOUQUETS to Country Road’s Alex for exceptional and pleasant service every time I visit the store. He makes it such a lovely experience.
Pleated Pants Don’t Flatter Pregnant Belly, Bell Park

BOUQUETS to Berkeley’s Wine Bar. What a great addition to Pakington St. Sensational tapas, local wines, friendly staff and no parking hassles. We can’t wait to return.
Happy Customers, Marshall

BOUQUETS to a lady who picked me up and brought me home when I tripped and broke my wrist at a market. Bouquets also to the person who handed in my mobile phone.
Grateful Pommie On Holidays, Corio

BUCKETS to Roopublican (Buckets & Bouquets, 23 January). Is it any wonder we vote against a republic when someone like Prince Andrew is pronounced guilty without evidence. As a victim in my childhood, I know the horrors of abuse but it doesn’t give me the right to pre-judge anyone.
Fair Play, Whittington

BOUQUETS to MHC Floor Coverings for visiting and quoting the same day I called. He was polite, pleasant and rang to check I’d receiving my quote email. Great customer service.
Felicity, Highton

BOUQUETS to a lovely couple who paid for our groceries at ALDI Belmont on 23 December. What a shock and a beautiful surprise.
Pat, Geelong
