Buckets & Bouquets

BOUQUETS to Geelong Blinds Company’s Shane for fantastic customer service. I visited a few times with enquiries and he was always a pleasure to deal with. Shane is a true gentleman.
Satisfied Customer, Lara

BOUQUETS to the dedicated teaching staff at Western Heights Secondary College for their amazing support. It was a shame the staff’s challenging task of educating our teenagers and the wonderful futures they are provided with was not reported.
KG, Bell Park

BUCKETS to dog-doo bag hogs. One day the dispensers are full, the next they’re empty. Surely there can’t be that many dogs walked in a day. It’s very inconvenient when no bags are available and your dog has to do its business.
Angry, Torquay

BOUQUETS to the staff and nurses on the third floor at Geelong Private Hospital. They were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Bouquets also to Catrina for getting me a bed for the night. I was very grateful.
GJ, North Geelong

BOUQUETS to the staff at Geelong Hospital’s emergency department for exceptional care when I was a patient late at night recently. Not only did they organise a follow-up ultrasound for the following day, I then reported back to emergency for my results. Special thanks to Dr Cian.
Narelle, Lara

BOUQUETS to Searoad Ferries for taking us out sailing with the tall ships on Port Phillip Bay. It was a wonderful voyage with tasty food and a toe-tapping band. Bouquets also to the organisers and the courteous, competent staff on board.
Melva, Anglesea

BUCKETS to a hairdresser for ruining my big night. They couldn’t get it right even when given a torn out magazine page with the look I wanted. The presence of other customers was only reason I didn’t make a bigger issue. So much for my birthday party.
Ripped Off, East Geelong

BUCKETS to a writer whose letter appeared in last week’s Independent for suggesting women become single mothers for the welfare money. As a single mother of two young children, I can honestly say it ain’t for the money. Ever heard of love?
Single Mum, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to the lovely people who helped me on a Friday when a steel stake pierced my tyre. Thanks also to Sam for the coffee. You were all angels.
Mary, Herne Hill
