BUCKETS to a motor-servicing provider. Changing a few spark plugs, spraying about some WD40 and giving the engine a wipe hardly equates to a service. I could have done that myself and saved the expense and hassle.
Never Again, East Geelong
BOUQUETS to Ro-Ann Hair Design’s Shona, who was kind enough to look after my two boys when my car broke down in front of her salon recently. Not only is she a great hairdresser, she is a great person.
Laurel, Highton
BOUQUETS to three good Samaritans for removing my car from a ditch on Barwarre Rd and getting me going on the road again. Many thanks to Graham and his female colleague in the white ute and ot the older gentleman in a white ute with a tow rope.
Stuck Territory No Longer, Lovely Banks
BUCKETS to Fair Play (Buckets & Bouyquets, 30 January). What a mountainous molehill of confected indignation. Nobody mentioned child abuse except you. You miserable need to take offence at anyone or anyone unyielding to your rigid, narrow views trumps any concern you have for the royalty, no matter how frivolous.
Fair Dinkum Unbelievable, Highton
BUCKETS to Angry Motorist (Buckets & Bouquets, 30 January), who might be unaware that bike riders in groups are allowed to ride two abreast. This is so they are safely seen and can stick together. Riders have just as much right to the road as you.
Ellen, Newtown
BOUQUETS to all the staff at Geelong’s public hospital, including the doctors, for all they did to help me for the months I was a patient before going to the McKellar Centre, where the staff were also outstanding. I will never forget their help to get me back on my feet.
Margaret, Corio
BOUQUETS to the owner of Belmont’s lotto outlet for supplying water and promptly calling an ambulance on 30 December. Thanks also to the lovely lady who held me safely, to the MICA crew’s swift arrival and wonderful treatment, and to the hospital staff’s great work.
Ever Grateful, Belmont
BUCKETS to a bogan woman frequenting a shopping centre in Geelong’s southern suburbs. Learn to park, get some manners and do something about your appearance. Some of us have to work but you seem to have nothing better to do than annoy and harass us. You know who you are.
Annoyed Worker, Grovedale
BOUQUETS to a helpful gentleman who helped retrieve my old cat from a tight spot with a long stick. Your quick thinking was appreciated. Bronson is much better now. No more walkies for him!
Bronson’s Mum, Geelong West
