Buckets and bouquets

BOUQUETS to the medical staff of Heath Wing Six at University Hospital Geelong for their help and care while I had a brief stay there.
Brodie Jones, Corio

BOUQUETS to my son, Michael. He works hard and has a wonderful family. If it wasn’t for him I would have nothing. I suffer depression and anxiety. Michael always talks me through any attacks. He is a blessing to me.
Janice, Indented Head

BUCKETS to a takeaway in another surburb where I bought a Mother’s Day pack. The chickens weren’t cooked enough and still had blood inside. Please, clean and cook your chickens properly. You could have made me ill. I won’t buy from there again.
Disappointed, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to a young woman in a white four-wheel-drive for offering to help when a large unleashed dog attacked my small dog on a leash in Skene St, Newtown. Her concern was much appreciated.
Prissy and Louie, Newtown

BUCKETS to Ellen (Buckets & Bouquets, 15 May). Stick to the facts. Labor has repeatedly snubbed Geelong’s mayor, who should be present at any major announcements affecting the city. It doesn’t matter whether we voted for him or for which party, it’s just plain good manners and protocol.
Disgusted Voter, Belmont

BUCKETS to an op shop in another town for charging people double the price. You pay for one item but they charge you twice.
Mr Young, Belmont

BUCKETS to women from a particularly European country for coming to Australia and staying until they get married. They are gold-diggers. My family and I came from the country with nothing and struggled. It’s unfair.
Peter, Highton

BUCKETS to an automotive repairer. A rotten spud is a bad spud and not good tucker. The customer should know if you plan to replace a part with a second-hand part so they can decide whether they want an old or new part. And don’t be rude when customers complain.
Arthur, Geelong
