Bucket and Bouquets

Bouquets to Brad who was truly my knight in shining armour when I was stranded on my own without a mobile phone. Nobody else walking down Latrobe Tce stopped to help me. Brad deserves recognition.
Leanne, Lara

Buckets to the thief who stole our tandem trailer from Read St, Newtown, early on 21 July. Now we cannot display our banner advertising our business.
Geelong Boat House, Western Beach

Bouquets to Geelong Property Group, especially Sean Mennen for his excellent service and professionalism. We were delighted with the price and short time to sell the property. The service and personal attention was exceptional.
Nick and Shaylie, Leopold

Bouquets to the person involved in finding my wallet and having it returned to me. Buckets to the person who took it, threw the cards everywhere and took the cash inside.
Grateful For Return, Breakwater

Buckets to the thought police at the Geelong Independent for frequently editing contributions to this column. You’re removing the guts from the comments, leaving them tame and ineffectual, vetoing relevant, solid, sensible text even when the word limit is not exceeded. What’s with that?
Newspeak, Herne Hill

Bouquets to Market Square Shopping Centre car park officer Brad for always being so friendly, patient and professional.
Happy Driver, Newtown

Bouquets to Eclipse Ford Ballarat’s Martin Cassar for his outstanding commitment to customer service and satisfaction. Not only did he assist us with our requests during the purchase of a new vehicle, he was extremely professional while discussing our options. Martin is highly recommended.
Larry, Portarlington

Buckets to a hotel that wanted to charge $20 to serve a cake I made for our grandson’s birthday with family.
Lost 10 Diners, East Geelong

Buckets to a business for failing to turn up to bath our two dogs. A return phone call goes a long way. You have lost our business of 10 years.
Unhappy Customer, Norlane

Bouquets to our neighbours who have stopped making horrible noises. The neighbourhood is peaceful again, except for frogs and passing trains instead of five-hour stretches of tool noise every weekends and most afternoons and evenings. We were about to lodge complaints about an unregistered business in a residential area.
Relieved, Marshall
