Bucket & Bouquets

Buckets to a uniformed police officer who threw a cigarette butt on the ground before posting a letter. My daughter was disgusted to observe this incident. Just remember, respect goes both ways.
Lisa, Torquay

Bouquets to a pair of lovely ladies at Buaa Authentic Thai Massage for my best-ever oil massage in lovely, peaceful surroundings. I will be back.
Very Happy Shirley, Corio

Bouquets to the wonderful staff on level seven of Geelong Hospital’s Birdsey Wing for their care in tending to me while I was a patient. Nothing was too much trouble. They certainly work hard and I sincerely thank them.
Nita R, Hamlyn Heights

Buckets to a bully who accessed our property via a ladder over the back fence to extinguish our camp fire. You damaged vines and herbs. Your friends must be really impressed by your behaviour, captured on your security system. Stay out of our property.
Annoyed, Newtown

Buckets to parents who let their children wear shoes in Westfield Geelong’s play area despite its entry sign forbidding shoes. My toddler didn’t appreciate a bigger kid’s hard soles stomping his little fingers. The kid’s parents failed to remove his shoes even after witnessing the incident.
Unhappy Parent, Newtown

Bouquets to Geelong Day and Night Pharmacy’s Ken for always taking care of us with his scripts and advice. We just wanted him to know he is appreciated.
Jack and Kim Torquay

Bouquets to a kind and considerate lady who handed in my black purse with all its contents to Corio Shopping Centre’s bakery and patisserie. A thank you here just does not seem adequate enough.
Very Grateful, Bell Post Hill

Buckets to the handlers of dog attack incidents that injured two people for deciding they were not serious enough to follow up. The attacks were near a primary school and a kindergarten. Will it take a serious injury to a child before someone acts?
Concerned Parent, East Geelong

Buckets to pet owners who fail to clean up after dogs leave deposits on nature strips, especially around Leopold’s Dorothy St shopping centre. It is disgusting for shoppers.
Get Real And Clean Up, Leopold

Bouquets to a kind lady who helped me find a workshop. I was wet, stressed, running late and had the wrong address. Despite being on her own in a busy Pakington St shop, The Laboratory, she found the time to solve my problem.
Grateful Pensioner, St Albans Park

Bouquets to the bravest, nicest man in Geelong. It was so cold and wet last week but Phil was at the coffee van next to the service station on Ballarat Rd with a smile. The coffee was good, too.
K Dickenson, Belmont

Bouquets to a farmer who slowed and informed vehicles on Mt Duneed Rd of a high vehicle stuck at a bridge. Although he felt obliged as the land owner, his community service and care of other people’s safety on a cold, wet morning was much appreciated.
Arrived Safely, Torquay

Bouquets to Stefan and his crew at Barwon Health’s ostomy department for their wonderful compassion and care for me over the past seven years. They always have a smile and a joke for their “ostomates”. We are so lucky to have them.
Tom’s Wife, Highton
