Buckets and bouquets

BUCKETS to a Hoppers Crossing truck driver whose vehicle struck my wife’s car on Latrobe Tce on 22 June. You are a disgrace to your profession. Bouquets to Probuild’s brave Grant Tucker for stopping to assist my wife as the driver tried to bully her.
Murray, Norlane

BOUQUETS to a caring person who assisted me after I tripped on pavement at a waterfront pedestrian crossing on 28 June. Bouquets also to the ambulance officers, Clare and Aaron, my wonderful family and my dear friend Margaret.
Cheril, Lara

BOUQUETS to anyone who can supply details of a legitimate charity collecting tea-bag tags. I have a big bag full of them but no contact information to make a donation.
Happy Senior, Geelong West

BUCKETS to Centrelink. I correctly reported but still hand not received my payment three days later. No explanation was provided, so I can only assume it was due to incompetence. I live cent to cent on Newstart. The ombudsman will hear if it happens again.
Angry And Broke, Herne Hill

BOUQUETS to the person who found my purse in a change room at Leisurelink Waurn Ponds. I was so relieved to discover it had been handed in at reception. The person responsible made a pensioner very happy.
Shirley, Belmont

BOUQUETS to Bunnings Waurn Ponds’ Meredith, who is helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and very conscientious. She even phoned me back with additional helpful information.
DNT, Herne Hill

BUCKETS to the Cats for yet another insipid effort. I predict a major whooping by the Dogs this weekend. The handbag is back at Kardina Park. Would you like perms with that, ladies?
Last Membership Ever, Highton

BOUQUETS to Alan Johnson Plumbing for excellent customer service when unblocking my toilet at a moment’s notice and for a reasonable rate.
Dawn, Lara

BOUQUETS to a generous truckie who paid for my tankful of petrol after my credit card failed at a new service station on Geelong’s bypass. I asked for a contact number to reimburse him but he cheerfully declined as he climbed back into his big rig.
Irene, Bell Park

BOUQUETS to a counter salesman at National Nuts & Bolts South Geelong for his effort when finding me a one-only steel nut with an uncommon threat for my trailer and for then not charging me. Great service is not often found.
Satisfied Customer, Anglesea

BOUQUETS to James and staff at Supatramp, where we recently had our son’s 12th birthday celebration. The party was well-organised and James was excellent, constantly helping and making sure everyone was happy.
Greco Family, Bell Park

BOUQUETS to my neighbours, especially Jo B and Lionel TJ, for lobbying so successfully to retain our Newtown bus service. True community spirit flourishes in this area.
Grateful Senior, Newtown
