BOUQUETS to Drysdale Smash Repairs for its generosity to a Salvo Resto project last year and especially for helping fix a Holden Barina bequest to The Salvation Army. The assistance allowed the sale of the car to support many needy families on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Peter Hobbs, The Salvation Army Bellarine Peninsula corps planting officer
BUCKETS to the manager of a wine merchant in another suburb who many heard screaming and swearing at staff in December. An older couple walked out. The behaviour was revolting. There are courses for anger management, you bully.
Won’t Come Back, Manifold Heights
BUCKETS to a Barwon Heads restaurant that accepted our reservation for a coeliac child who could then only be provided only with steamed vegetables or salad. The staff were unapologetic and our special occasion was ruined when we had to go elsewhere.
Former Customer, Ocean Grove
BOUQUETS to the staff at The Portarlington Bakehouse, who were run off their legs with enormous crowds all day but stayed calm and pleasant throughout. I was proud to be a local.
Pam, Portarlington
BUCKETS to Prince Andrew, fifth in line to be King of Australia. Let’s hope he manages to keep his sausage under greater control at the annual Balmoral barbecue.
Roopublican, Belmont
BOUQUETS to Coles Geelong West’s Denise for being so charming and pleasant at the checkout. She is a delight.
Happy Customer, Manifold Heights
BOUQUETS to the person who left money with a Christmas message around Highton. You will be rewarded for your kindness.
Grateful Pensioner Sylvia, Highton
BOUQUETS to Dominos Corio for amazing pizzas and friendly service. Congratulations to Mitch, Chris and the staff. We highly recommend them.
Judy, Corio
Bouquets to a kind taxi driver and a young man who appeared from nowhere to help me to my feet after a fall on a rainy day. You were both angels.
Mary, Geelong West
Bouquets to the honest person who found my son’s wallet after he lost it in Breakwater on 19 December. The wallet was handed in at Geelong Police Station with the money and cards still inside. We can’t thank you enough. Good, honest people are still in the world.
Very Grateful, Highton
Buckets to a mail pick-up driver. Just because you don’t understand the concept of double-handling and can’t comprehend the expression of empathy in regard to some stupid laws doesn’t mean I am crazy, as you loudly suggested. Your extreme rudeness does your employer no justice.
Oh So Identifiable, Corio
Bouquets to the 25-plus homes in Geelong’s northern suburbs that celebrated Christmas with a magnificent lights show. It is interesting the more-affluent suburbs show less enthusiasm.
Peter, Lara
Buckets to those responsible for the redevelopment of Lara’s Austin Park. How is it that a supermarket can be built in three months but the park it destroyed is still a wasteland? Shame on the lack of priorities.
Peter, Lara
Bouquets to a kind and amazing gentleman who paid for my flowers. He appeared to be celebrating something special. Thanks for including me and I hope you had a lovely day.
Elizabeth, Corio
