Buckets and Bouquets

BOUQUETS to Leo, Liz, Leesa and all at The Pulse radio station involved in helping with the Elvis night. Bouquets also to everyone who attended and to the listeners, businesses and shops that supported the night.
Betty, Newcomb

BOUQUETS to E&S Trading for exceptional customer service after our fridge died. Sorting a replacement, dealing with mechanics and insurance companies et cetera was carried out with utmost professionalism and courtesy by all staff, particularly Rachael. Such service is rare these days.
Elizabeth Soutar, Portarlington

BOUQUETS to Firm Foundations House Restumping for a job well done. The quality of the work was high and the attention to detail when levelling the house was great. We highly recommend this business.
A & D, Hamlyn Heights

BUCKETS to City of Greater Geelong for another patchwork job on repairing Russell St, Newtown. It is a street with very heavy traffic but a disgusting road surface. It was dodgy work. I want some of my rates reimbursed.
Not Happy, Newtown

BOUQUETS to Tim and Minnie for keeping me safe until my owner was able to collect me after I escaped from Trevally Dve, Ocean Grove. Sorry to ruin your walk.
Stella Dog, Ocean Grove

BOUQUETS to Happy Feet Early Learning Centre staff for the high-quality service they provide my children. All the staff are friendly and caring and go out of their way to assist. Thanks for being so excellent at what you do.
Shennae, Bell Post Hill

BOUQUETS to ambulance officers and all Geelong Hospital’s emergency, ICU and children’s ward staff for their great work and support getting Ben back to perfect health. You all do an amazing job and we were blessed to have your expertise at such a traumatic time.
Grateful Parents, Ocean Grove

BOUQUETS to all involved in North Geelong Secondary College’s recent Nth Degree cabaret show. Great food and service was combined with super entertainment and ambience. Top stuff.
Hard Marker, Geelong West

BUCKETS to Torquay Resident (Buckets & Bouquets, 22 August). Who loses with road change on Horseshoe Bend Rd? Less lawn for council to mow, parking still available, safer cycling and motorists can get past cyclists. Seems you just can’t please some people.
Excellent Road Solutions, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to a pair of thoughtful young women who waited for me to return from shopping in Coles Belmont to inform me about a car that crashed into mine in the car park. The offended left but the women had taken the registration number. Their kindness and consideration was appreciated.
Grateful Shopper, Wandana Heights

BUCKETS to a couple whose large dog fell off a flat tray ute and was dragged by its collar and leash for 100 metres along Roberts Rd before they stopped. They were abusive and drove offer despite pleading with them to shorten the leash so it wouldn’t happen again.
Natalie, Belmont

BUCKETS to an absolutely filthy pig who did a huge poo in dunes beside a walking track at White’s Beach. I nearly vomited when I caught my dog licking it. It looked like you only had a little toilet paper, so I hope you ended up just as messy.
Disgusted Walker, Torquay
