BUCKETS to a woman in a Camry for failing to stop at a pedestrian crossing in Highton, nearly running down my son and I a couple of weeks ago. I’ll get your rego next time. Buckets also to a Saab driver who nearly ran over an elderly pedestrian on the same crossing.
Shocked, Belmont
BOUQUETS to BC Precision Painting’s Brad, Torquay Interitor Lighting’s Matt and his boys and Kitchenology’s Nathan and Tommy, who were the best tradies to deal with on our recent renovation. A special mention for Whitford Property’s Emma for going above and beyond the call of duty.
Rob and Deb, Torquay
BOUQUETS to a lovely lady from New Zealand who was riding past on a bike when she came to my rescue after I fell out of my motorised wheelchair on 8 July. She was very kind and somehow got me back on my seat.
Lynne, East Geelong
BUCKETS to a local cabinetry firm for wrong measurements, shoddy work and for putting its money first and the customer last. The attitude was a disgrace. Bouquets to Peter and Patrick for their help when the installers pulled the plug.
Word Of Mouth, Corio
BOUQUETS to the helpful man at Concepts Electrics for saving me from spending an evening in darkness and cold when rainwater leaked into the outside power point of my central heating and kept tripping my safety switch.
Grateful Grandmother, Highton
BOUQUETS to Appalled (Buckets & Bouquets, 12 July). I too have criticised builders in Buckets & Bouquets, although some years back, for letting their rubbish blow willy-nilly around suburbs and new estates. It’s time authorities cracked down on this problem, especially with the amount of development around our region.
Plastic’s Not Fantastic, Geelong West
BUCKETS to a heartless driver of a large four-wheel-drive who deliberately drove through backed-up roadside stormwater to drench children trying to escape the rain on Torquay Rd. How would you like it if someone did the same to your family?
Angry Father, Belmont
BOUQUETS to the brave gentleman who helped me retrieve my cat from up high in a neighbour’s shrubbery. Sorry for the scratches. Bouquets of apology to my neighbour for any damage to her plants.
Meow Wow, Waurn Ponds
BOUQUETS to Melissa, at Woolworths Drysdale. She always has a happy smile. Some of the other staff could take a lesson from her.
Beth, Clifton Springs
