Bouquets to a kind and honest person who returned my grey carry bag to Corio Shopping Centre’s service desk. You made my day.
Hermie, Lara
Bouquets to parts4 Automotive for polite and helpful service while searching for suppliers without charging me for the trouble. I had recently experienced two disappointments elsewhere. My faith in shopping local was restored.
Robdog, Ocean Grove
Buckets to a business that won’t run a bus to shows in Melbourne. The business said it needed a full bus paid up front. I had 10 people ready to go for Mrs Browns’ Boys and was sure more would have attended. I didn’t even get to see Alan Jackson.
No Shows For Me, Geelong West
Buckets to Socialist Alliance for leaving flyers taped to poles in the Norlane and Corio area well after the federal election. Any wonder Geelong is called Sleepy Hollow. Councils should make political parties clean up after campaigning.
Clean Up Your Act, Bell Park
Buckets to the person who came into my fenced yard to steal a bonsai tree from my front porch. May your green thumb turn black. Just think of me as Ralph Macchio in Karate Kid III and you will see what happens to bonsai thieves.
Mrs Myagi, Geelong West
Buckets to Bad Culture (Buckets & Bouquets, 4 October). Your exhaustive search obviously didn’t extend to the centre of Geelong, which has a self-serve frozen yoghurt store on Ryrie St. Next time be more thorough before depicting Geelong a cultural wasteland.
More Cultured Than You Think, Herne Hill
Buckets to Bad Culture. Oh, boo-hoo, you couldn’t find self-serve frozen yoghurt. Oh, the injustice! Well, I went to “Melbourne’s inner-city” and couldn’t find a pie with sauce – or maybe I just didn’t look very hard. The culture you seek is growing on your self-awareness.
Yucky Yuppie, East Geelong
Buckets to Bad Culture. For your information, we have not one but two self-serve frozen yoghurt shops, in Ryrie St and Pakington St. Wake up before you bag a breat place to live.
Ellen, Newtown
Buckets to Bad Culture. Geelong has a self-serve frozen yoghurt shop in Ryrie St.
Good Culture, Breakwater
Buckets to an organisation and its president, spreading a religious message around Australia. I, a pensioner, gave a lot of money as a donation in the belief it would help the organisation but found out it was used by the president. I will give no more.
Anonymous, Highton
Bouquets to David O’Brien and everyone else involved in the Peter Stevens pink ribbon fundraiser ride on Sunday. I felt privileged to be involved in such a great day.
Dawn Dolheguy, Highton
