Banknote machines have disappointed the banks.
The eight automatic machines that were introduced two years ago have not achieved the popularity that the banks expected for them.
Banks have now given up on acquiring new machines.
At first, it was thought that they would be placed in a total of 50 different parts of the country.
The public has used banknote machines less than estimated.
This is partly due to the fact that technical faults occurred in automatic devices for a long time.
“The public is slowly learning to use new banking services to their advantage. The spread of user checks also took its own time. Their great popularity has probably partly prevented the spread of automatic machines”, guesses deputy head of department Erkki Ojala.
In Finland, taxi drivers do not wear safety glasses
in Helsinki is a specially made taxi car that has been in operation for half a year, where more attention than usual has been paid to the driver's safety.
The car has a fiberglass protective hood attached behind the driver. In addition, efforts have been made to enhance the safety of the driver by installing a bullet-proof armor plate on the back of his seat.
Leuto Niemi, a rental car driver, drives the special taxi. He has been quite satisfied with his new car.

According to Olavi Ruudu, executive director of the taxi association, protective glasses have not gained popularity in Finland, perhaps because of their relative cost. The equipment increases the price of the car by FIM 1,200
Ruutu also thinks that drivers think that glass makes customer service difficult. In his own opinion, the new dome model is not harmful to say the least.
Food costs more again
Nope it's a wonder that the money will never be enough.
Shopping, which cost a generous FIM 36.92 two years ago, now costs FIM 45.27. The increase is more than 8 marks
Is it possible that there are housewives who, under these conditions, are able to support their families with the budget, which has not been increased for years.
If so, they must be from the TV series My Wife is a Witch.
The price comparison on the family page includes a couple of dozen common goods. Changes in their prices have been monitored since 1972.
And the ones that have changed have, in other words, increased in a couple of years, with the exception of margarine.
Food prices have been asked from the same food store in Helsinki each time.
Parliament was looking for energy sources
Energy crisis has confused the financial calculations.
Almost all parliamentary groups agreed on this on Friday, when the discussion of the current year's budget in the parliament began.
Uki Voutilainen of the Social Democrats called for making the production, transmission and distribution of basic energy the responsibility of society and for the strong development of public transport.
Aulis Juvela of the People's Democrats thought the entire energy shortage was deliberately exaggerated. It is used to try to get the workers to settle for smaller salary increases, he guessed.

CO Tallgren (r) warned about doomsday prophets who have dreamed of zero growth and “dreamed of a return to even a pre-industrial society”.

According to their revelations, the IB's activities violated Sweden's policy of neutrality, as it was mainly directed against socialist countries and Arab countries.
Bratt and Guillou made their revelations in the May issue of the non-partisan left-wing magazine FiB/Kulturfront.
Bratt later published the book “IB and the threat to our security”.
Evidence was used, e.g. just a newspaper story and a book.
