Buckets and Bouquets

Buckets to a cinema where I paid good money for gold-class tickets only to be charged a $5 booking fee for each person when I went to use them.
No More, Anglesea

Buckets to a crew working on Barwon Heads Road for thinking the roadside near the intersection of Reserve Rd would be a good place to park a large machine. It’s a dangerous intersection anyway but the machine blocking half the view of oncoming traffic made it a lot worse.

Bouquets to patrons who came from all areas, including Albury, Bendigo, Warrnambool, Clunes, Kyneton, Sunbury and Melbourne, for a charity dance in memory of Darryl and others. Bouquets also to Portarlington businesses and the town’s dance group for their support and donations. We raised $2552.50 for Relay for Life.

Buckets to Geelong’s council for taking even more funds from the suburbs to spend it in the city (Independent, 3 April). The invisible, delusional boundary must go past the outer-city area to all suburbs.
Vince, Highton

Bouquets to Vet to Pet’s Laura and staff for their care of little Bella. We wouldn’t have anyone else.
Ida and Chris Lawson, Corio

Bouquets to Going Going Gone (Buckets & Bouquets, 3 April). I share your pain from dealing with real estate agents, although I went through a similar experience twice. It’s always the middle men, or women, who do the least but get the best out of any deal.
Already Gone, Newtown

Bouquets to the lovely man who found my purse on Geelong’s waterfront on 2 April and arranged for his lovely wife, Denise, to contact me to advise it had been found. She refused a gift of money as a thank you, saying she was just pleased my purse was returned.
