Buckets and bouquets

BOUQUETS to Spotlight’s Sam. She was so helpful when I needed a pattern and fabric to make a garment. Sam went above and beyond the call of duty to help. She saved the day. Spotlight, do all you can to keep her.
Grateful, Grovedale

BUCKETS to a knob who uses Facebook to harass anyone who thinks he’s an idiot. We have our reasons and they’re good. No wonder you have fewer friends all the time. Get a life.
You’re A Knob, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to a good Samaritan who helped me get going again at 11pm on 30 October.
Mario, Rippleside

BOUQUETS to Dominic and his crew at Banksia Lounges. The items they reupholstered for us are testament to their talent and professionalism.
Happy, Newtown

BUCKETS to a dodgy real estate agent who promised us the stars but delivered dirt. All the hassles, expense and frustration ended with pressure on us to sell for way below market value and exasperation when we refused. Spring selling season my backside.
Still For Sale, Highton

BOUQUETS to Darlene and her daughter for finding my wallet minus the money in a car park after I lost it at Market Square Shopping Centre. They took the trouble to determine my address and deliver the wallet to me personally with the cards still inside, refusing any reward.
Grateful Pensioner, Newtown

BOUQUETS to a charming couple who helped when I locked myself out of my car in Lt Myers St. I couldn’t have found more pleasant people. They were instrumental in the process of getting me moving again within a short time. Thanks also to a passing gentleman who offered assistance.
Harry and Hysterical Owner, Corio

BUCKETS to a takeaway chain. Why did the price of small chips and ice cream increase 90 per cent?
MH, Rippleside

BOUQUETS to the great staff at Eddy Elias Menswear. I went into the store on Saturday with a question regarding a tie and the customer service was so good. The two staff who spoke with me were terrific. Give the big department stores a miss and shop with Eddy Elias.
Suzanne, Grovedale
