Buckets & Bouquets

Bouquets to Grovedale College and the many teachers and staff who have helped both my children over the years. I cannot recommend the school highly enough. I want all the teachers and staff to know how much my family and I appreciate them.
April, Torquay

Bouquets to Bob Treseder, of IBM Typewriter Service and Repairs, for his assistance and advice when getting my electric typewriter going again. His refusal of payment in this age of greed was a breath of fresh air.
Susan, Ocean Grove

Bouquets to the doctor and nurses who cared for my husband in Geelong Hospital’s emergency department on 26 May. They were caring, concerned, professional and loving people.
Christine, Bell Post Hill

Buckets to a hairdresser that still had my hair extensions when it closed down.
Disgusted Customer, Hamlyn Heights

Bouquets to the staff on duty at Kardinia Health Belmont on the evening of 27 May. Your care during my car emergency was greatly appreciated.
Pat, Hamlyn Heights

Bouquets to council workers for their forward thinking at Hurst Reserve and Nelson Oval on 14 May. I parked in the reserve to attend a function but returned to find the gate closed. On closer inspection I found they had only slipped the bolt instead of locking the gate.
BJB, Geelong West

Buckets to the unemployment system. A hotel sacked me when my subsidy ran out after eight months. This is why the unemployment rate is so high. The system needs to change.
BP, Newtown

Buckets to Geelong’s council for failing to include in its community update the closing time for the small electrical appliance drop-off day. We drove all the way to Drysdale at 3.45pm to find it had finished. Stop wasting our time and petrol, which damages the environment as well.
Frustrated Citizen, Belmont

Bouquets to the lovely workers at Market Square Shopping Centre’s car park, especially brilliant Brad whose friendly greeting and kind words make our day. It’s a pleasure to see Brad.
P, J and G, Belmont

Buckets to the low-life who ran into my son’s car parked outside our house in the early hours of 20 May. Not only has his car been un-driveable since, he has to pay for the damage because no contact details were left behind. We hope karma bites you.
Not Happy Jan, Marshall

Bouquets to Leisurelink forecourt patrons for returning a roller walker chair form the disability parking zone on 27 May. Swimmer and chair are together again. Bouquets also to the staff for their cooperation.
