Buckets & Bouquets

Buckets to cyclists who refuse to stay within their dedicated lanes. Yes, we all know you’re free to ride two abreast and wander all over the road but, really, show a little consideration. Stay inside your white line and everyone’s happy.
Frustrated Driver, Highton

Bouquets to the lovely person who handed in my lost car park ticket at Westfield Geelong. You saved me a $30 lost-ticket fee and restored my faith in humanity.
Nick, Bell Post Hill

Bouquets to the lady who witnessed a vehicle hitting my car in an Ocean Grove car park and noted the vehicle’s registration number. She proved that thoughtful people are in our community.
Grateful Owner, Barwon Heads

Bouquets to the wonderful workers of Precision Plumbing, especially Nick whose professionalism and hard work is outstanding. His bright, friendly nature is refreshing and appreciated.
Simone, Highton

Bouquets to Stuck On You for its generosity to a BPW breakfast in Geelong. The generosity was extended to a group of young people who visited the company’s premises at Breakwater. I wish you continued success in business.
Grateful And Impressed, Bell Park

Buckets to men outside a TAB, whose excessive swearing does not go unnoticed.
Chris, Hamlyn Heights

Buckets to a neighbour who has hated us for 10 years just because we have a different racial background. Now we are to be polluted with bad smoke. Go elsewhere, drug dealer. Haven’t you heard of loving thy neighbour? By the way, we’ve worked harder than any of you.
Wicked People Not Needed, Grovedale

Bouquets to Wallington Rural’s paint department for good old-fashioned service when I decided to redecorate. I was taken through the procedure step by step, a sample pot was mixed to get the right colour then given to me free of charge. My walls now look great.
Jean, Ocean Grove

Buckets to the prices of food and drink at the Cats game last Friday night. As someone who hadn’t been to an AFL match in years, I was shocked at how much it cost to take my family. It’s Friday night footy on TV for us from now on.
Roo Boy, East Geelong

Buckets to the owners of a Grovedale business who think they don’t need customers, taking four car parking spaces for their two cars. Other shop owners leave the spaces for customers and have staff park out the back.
Brad, Belmont
