Buckets and bouquets

BOUQUETS to a lady who gave me a lift in her car from Saffron St to Pakington St, preventing me from being late for an appointment. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Grateful Pensioner, Norlane

BUCKETS to a shonky tiles business. Pity the poor people for whom it does work. Be aware of scammers.
Anonymous, Clifton Springs

BOUQUETS to a gentleman, who was sitting opposite my grandson and I on the 2.40pm train from Melbourne to Marshall on 12 July, for handing in my grandson’s iPod at South Geelong Railway Station. May your kindness and honesty be returned many times.
Grateful, St Leonards

BOUQUETS to the person who handed in my black purse after I left it in a black shopping basket at Safeway Drysdale. I was so grateful and relieved to find it at the customer service desk.
Grateful Senior, Ocean Grove

BUCKETS to a repair business for quoting $1400 for a scratch, then asking for $1200 in cash and threatening legal action if I went through another business. I spoke to the other party who said the quote was $700 and nothing I had been told was true.
Hard-Working Mum, Hamlyn Heights

BOUQUETS to Steve’s Discount Carpets for not only a magnificent job laying bamboo flooring and carpet but for also providing a compensatory wine for a small issue that didn’t go to plan. We would be happy to deal with Steve’s again.
Happy Customers, Belmont

BUCKETS to a coastal takeaway that swapped its previously delicious beef pies for something with a mushy and fatty filling that tastes more like a vegetable in gravy. What a waste of $15.20. That’s the last time we stop there for lunch.
Pie Family, Whittington

BOUQUETS to a young man and young lady who came to my assistance when I had a nasty fall in a BI-LO car park at 3.15pm on 15 July. Your help was greatly appreciated.
Elderly Gent, St Albans Park
