BOUQUETS to Riding for the Disabled volunteers for generously giving their time and expertise to Nelson Park School students for their horse-riding program. A big thank you also from the students for the end-of-year Christmas party and gifts.

BUCKETS to a man who was rough with his poor dog on a footpath beside Melbourne Rd. Leashes are for controlling dogs gently, not dragging them around like pieces of meat. How would you like it if I did the same to you?

BOUQUETS to the wonderful year 12 graduation day for Christian College at Costa Hall. It was lovely to have all the teachers attend to show support. I was so very proud of all the students.
Happy Parent Lindy, Highton
BOUQUETS to Hygeia boat staff for providing a memorable party aboard their vessel for my 60th birthday. Everyone one had an amazing time as we danced the night away out on the bay. Thanks to Barbara, David, Cindy and the rest of the crew for the time of my life.
Satisfied Sailor, Newtown
BOUQUETS to the wonderful ambos who attended to my mum at Bannockburn on 23 November. My sisters and I were so distressed that we didn’t get their names. Their treatment of mum was caring and compassionate. They also put us at ease. Mum is now home and well.
Jo, Manifold Heights
BUCKETS to a store for false advertising. I phoned to check an advertisement was correct but after purchasing products I was told it was last week’s ad and would not be honoured.
False Advertising, South Geelong
BOUQUETS to Gloria Jean’s Newcomb’s Dean, Nisha and Stacey for excellent customer service with a smile. What a happy place to walk into and be greeted by name.
The Girls, Ocean Grove
BOUQUETS to the manager of Jaycar for fixing a small situation in a huge way. He was wonderful and made a little boy very, very happy. Thanks, Steve.

BUCKETS to a welfare organisation to which I’ve tried to pay a monthly subscription without avail for the past two months. I tried to see someone but they were unavailable. They took my number but haven’t contacted me. Is my money not wanted? Their loss will be another organisation’s gain.
BJB, Geelong West
BUCKETS of pollution to Alan Barron (Letters, 5 December). I enjoy reading the Independent’s letters to the editor but first check the writer’s name. If it’s from Mr Barron I tear out the page and take it to the bathroom because that’s all its good for.
Wake Up, Norlane
BUCKETS to Alan Barron for continuing to push the sceptical argument against climate change despite overwhelming opposition. Give up, we accept the science. People once thought the world was flat, too. Buckets also to the Independent for giving him oxygen. Some people shouldn’t be seen or heard.
97 Per Cent Right, Highton
BOUQUETS to a taxi driver who turned around at Grovedale to return a young customer’s mobile phone to an address at Torquay about 7am Sunday. The driver politely asked for $20 but, with the phone’s owner unavailable, was happy with our thanks and a promise of recognition instead.
