Buckets and bouquets

BOUQUETS to Ana at Geelong West library. Your conscientiousness is exemplary. You actively seek to help patrons and nothing seems too much trouble.
Geriatric, Herne Hill
BOUQUETS to the kind woman that handed in my lost parking ticket to Market Square on the weekend. It was such a nice surprise just as I was expecting to have to pay the maximum amount. I hope karma returns the favour.
Very thankful, East Geelong
BOUQUETS to the honest St John of God staff member who found my silver bracelet and handed it in to reception. I tried to find out your name so I could thank you personally. I appreciate your honesty.
Happy volunteer, North Geelong
BOUQUETS to Brent at Telstra’s Waurn Ponds Store. About a month ago I transferred my services to Telstra. I received great customer service from Brent who explained everything in detail and had me set up in no time. He was patient and kind with my annoying questions. What a delight this young man is and a credit to his workplace.
Joanne, Belmont
BOUQUETS to the very kind lady who handed in my purse at Woolworths Market Place, Ocean Grove. I was sorry staff didn’t get a contact name or number. You will know how relieved and grateful I was.
Liz, Ocean Grove
BOUQUETS to Sonja and Rhonda at Barwon Health Dental Newcomb. You both make a child’s trip to the dentist fun and exciting.
Mum, Newcomb
BOUQUETS to Janine at ConnectTel. Her customer service, patience and willingness to help was excellent. ConnectTel should be proud.
Marlene, Belmont
BOUQUETS to Grady Lewis and Chris of Firm Foundations for excellent work on my house stumps. Their attention to detail under the inside the house resulted in a successful outcome. Pleasant to deal with and a good honest price.
On the level, Belmont
BUCKETS to Peter Mackinlay’s war against the 21st century in the letters pages. Maybe he should stop pouncing on new ideas with his obdurate “nope, nope, nope” to everything, like a cranky North Korean dictator complaining about South Korea.
Stop the nopes, Belmont
BUCKETS to Big gay Al (26 June). I used the term ‘bigot’ correctly for the English language. You used ‘hypocrite’ incorrectly. I actively practice social and religious tolerance towards others. ‘Family friendly’, to whom I was replying, does not. Maybe get your facts correct before blurting out your ignorance.
Grammatically correct, Grovedale
