Buckets & Bouquets

Bouquets to Lara Sporting Club for great morning melodies. Bouquets also to Michelle for a fun morning. We will be back.
Rhonda and Helen, Lara

Bouquets to Ken Yap’s pharmacy because he takes great care in looking after prescriptions accurately and has a friendly and welcoming approach to all customers.
Jeanine, Portarlington

Buckets to a dirty dog walker for frequently leaving deposits on my nature strip on Wilsons Rd. If you need a dog for company, remember that you are supposed to be the human.
Disgusted, Newcomb

Bouquets to Cartridge World Geelong’s Janet for exceptional service. I have never experienced such prompt, personalised and professional attention. Nothing was too much trouble and she worked on my printer problem until it was solved.
Isabel, Newtown

Bouquets to Dr Jon O’Connor, Sharon and Tanya at Aberdeen Vet Clinic for their kindness and skills in healing and rejuvenating my cat friend.
J Alexander, Newtown

Bouquets to the staff at Feed My Mojo café for being welcoming and friendly to my elderly uncle and I and for making a special meal that wasn’t on the menu.
Bobby B, Grovedale

Bouquets to a caring lady staff member in the card section at Coles Waurn Ponds. I was unable to find a card I wanted and she kindly helped me. Her outstanding service was greatly appreciated. The card was perfect, too.
Happy Customer, Belmont

Buckets to a hotel for taking light beer off tap and replacing it with a mid-strength. So much for looking after customers. They have lost me and my mates.
Joe, Norlane

Buckets to Making A List And Checking It Twice (Buckets & Bouquets, 18 July). “Hypocrite” is the wrong term for people of opposing views. Sir Spendalot could have put the Christmas tree to a referendum but, hey, that would be democratic. Bouquets to the tree objectors in the real world.
Ministry Of Truth, Herne Hill

Buckets to Making A List And Checking It Twice. How would you identify people who opposed the Christmas tree from the millions of tourists predicted to flock here to see this extravagance? They might be scared off by you laughing at people for no apparent reason.
Bonnie, Leopold

Buckets to Making A List And Checking It Twice. The only people who will be the subject of laughter on the waterfront this Christmas will be nose-breathing bogans like yourself as they drool over the mayor’s tacky waste of ratepayers’ money.
Captain Sensible, Belmont

Buckets to the cruel person who stole my six-year-old daughter’s pink iPod and Cats blanket at the Geelong-Western Bulldogs game in Simonds Stadium. Both items were precious to her. She is now saving $1 at a time for a new iPod. Return both to the club, no questions asked.
Heartbroken, Highton

Bouquet to a chap who gets taken for a walk by his dog past our house most weekdays. You’ve become a great source of merriment in our home. Keep trying, you’ll take charge eventually.
Waiting Watchers, Torquay
