BUCKETS to the person who left their dog’s very large poo right at my front gate. I can’t believe someone could be so dirty as to leave something like that right at someone’s gate and walk away thinking it doesn’t matter. Clean Up Your Act, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to a gentleman for paying my petrol bill at APCO Lara. It was all because of a few kind words from me to his wife. Grateful Pensioner, Lara BOUQUETS to Whittington’s Tracey for going out of the way to return my pension card. Shame about the Bombers, though. Much Appreciated, Ocean Grove BUCKETS to Angry Shopper (Buckets & Bouquets, 19 September). Obesity can very much be a disability. It can also be a target of cruel people. Maybe you’re not obese because you’re angry all the time. Obese And Proud, Corio BOUQUETS to D & A Electrical’s Darren for going out of his way to update our wiring to comply with safety standards. He was polite, cleaned up after the job and spent extra time trying to sort out a radio interference problem from my shed. He was also on time. John and Elaine, Geelong West
