THE THUMBS
Thumbs Up and a big thank you to the paramedics and wonderful people who helped me outside the post office after my fall on Monday.
Thumbs Down to Essential Energy. Last Sunday, June 27, there was a planned power outage by Essential Energy in West Dubbo from 0830 to around 1130. There was no prior warning of the outage but I found this by Google. Surely they could have SMSED residents in the affected areas prior to this occurrence so that alternative arrangements could have been made.
Thumbs Down to the mess that Gladys and Scomo have made of the vaccination rollout and the endless mixed messages that even doctors I know tell me they can’t make sense of. It shows an utter disdain for the Australian public, and highlights just how much these elected leaders are out of touch with ordinary people.
Thumbs Up to Holy Trinity Church and everyone involved in the ringing of the bells, it was a beautiful day and well worthwhile attending.
Thumbs Up to Dubbo Photo News: As an ex-dubbo-er who comes home regularly to see family, thanks for the great work the Dubbo Photo News does. It is a weekly staple at my family home and is always a great read. (Editor’s note: For anyone with family or friends now living away from Dubbo, the full digital version of Dubbo Photo News can be accessed online, free of charge.)
Thumbs Up to Western NSW Local health District’s HD’S team vcare! They are the hidden heroes who support our entire district for our unwell patients.
Thumbs Up to the staff at Dubbo Base Hospital. Their attention, attitude and care toward the patients is absolutely outstanding and should be commended to the highest calibre. I have never felt more relaxed in a hospital as I do at Dubbo Base Hospital! Thank you.
Thumbs Down to the drivers who can’t, won’t or don’t put on their headlights in rainy or foggy weather conditions. It is usually dark coloured vehicles. It is not a matter of seeing where you are going, it is a matter of being seen by other motorists.
Thumbs Up to everyone doing the right thing to prevent the spread of Covid-19, Thumbs Down to people who are so selfish they put their own interests ahead of the wider community.
Thumbs Up to Robert Handsaker Ford in Narromine and staff for their great customer service!
Thumbs Up and a huge congratulations to Dubbo Water Polo junior players Declan Mcgregor, Hamish Wood, Abby and Eva Osborne – lots of hard work, commitment and travel has seen these four talented young athletes announced in the NSW State Water Polo Squads, well done and keep up the great work.
Thumbs Down to the ladies at a local supermarket who wouldn’t wear masks while shopping. Everyone in the line was doing the right thing but they seemed to think they were too good to be wearing a mask.
Thumbs Up to Aaron and the team at Dubbo City Smash and Mechanical. Fast, efficient and friendly customer service professionals. My car was returned to me like new. Highly recommend this local business looking after local people.
