Buckets and Bouquets

Buckets to a new-car importer that spends millions of dollars on sports while refusing to honour a seven-year warranty. Buckets also to a dealer who sold a lemon to a young girl then tried bullying her into going away. Bad luck, she has a supportive family.
Granny, Bell Post Hill

Bouquets to a lovely lady who helped dad pay for his parking when his money kept falling straight out of a meter in central Geelong. Thanks for finding dad so you could put a ticket in his car. It’s nice to know caring people are out there.
Marlee, Norlane

Bouquets to Telstra Waurn Ponds, particularly Jay, who was so helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciated his help when I needed it most.
Pat, Belmont

Buckets to loudmouth parents who intimidate young players from opposing teams. Cheering’s fine but screaming’s just plain wrong, especially when children are trying to concentrate on their sport in a hostile environment. You’re probably the same people who would boo Adam Goodes.
Deafened Parent, Highton

Bouquets to the kind guys at Kmart Tyre & Auto Service Belmont for pumping up our truck tyres on Saturday after we struggled at a servo and the hire company wouldn’t help.
Robyn and Ann, Belmont

Buckets to the Cats’ management of veteran players. We have more than just “quibbles” with the “timing” of this year’s delistings, Mr Carter (Independent, 4 September) – we also question the logic, especially given the club’s existing stock of replacements. Just admit it’s really about bad management – of players and finances.
Bad End To Bad Year, Newtown

Bouquets to the couple who helped me when a seagull became entangled in my hair at Ocean Grove on the weekend. It was extremely embarrassing but I learnt my lesson about feeding wild animals, especially when they’re around in flocks. The seagull was unharmed.
RB, Newcomb

Bouquets to all the good people who work at Geelong hospital. After spending some time there on Friday night I now know why it’s such a good hospital.
Russ Jones, Ferntree Gully
