This is an increase of eleven percent compared to last year.

In total, we handled almost 1.2 million parcels and consignment notes 24 hours a day between Sunday and Monday, which is usually the peak day after Black week. During the week, volumes have remained high, says Mathias Krümmel, CEO of PostNord Sweden, in a press release.

Hello! On Friday morning, smoke could be seen rising from the Russian embassy on Kungsholmen in Stockholm. The emergency services and the embassy are investigating the cause of the smoke.
Do you know anything more about this event?
Thomas
Hey! When we spoke to the emergency services earlier today, they were on their way home from the embassy. It appeared that leaves were burned inside the area under controlled conditions.
Yesterday morning I scrolled and found an article about some huge seizure of drugs in Sweden but skipped it and was going to read it later but it’s not there?
Did you post something that you didn’t get?
PETRI SOLARINNE
Hey! Are you possibly referring to this one?
Thought I’d ask about the latest on the Tove case, because you don’t see any posts about her or information about what happened in the case??
Gunilla
Hey! The investigation is still ongoing and the two women are still in custody on suspicion of murder, violation of grave peace and kidnapping. So the situation is the same as before.
Currently, prosecutor Adam Rullman estimates that charges can be filed sometime in January at the earliest.
In December last year, the war in Ukraine had not started, so you can stop defending electricity prices with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Stephen
We have no intention or reason to “defend” any high electricity prices.
Hey!
How old are you when you write “at the age of 55”?
Are you 55, 51, 59 or does everything between 51 and 59 fit in?
Why not just write the correct age?
Rolf
People aged 55 are older than 51 but they are not 59 ?
Sometimes we write like that because we don’t know exactly.
It can also be for publicity reasons. To protect the person’s identity a little extra.
