Pub in Jönköping receives a reprimand

Jönköping Municipality (the local authority) is giving a pub in Jönköping a reprimand, a less serious deficiency. The background is a police inspection on 26 June in connection with the FIFA World Cup. Outside the pub, a 17-year-old was found who was very intoxicated and vomited, and inside the pub there were several minors. According to the police, the 17-year-old stated that they had bought alcohol at the pub, while 2 other young people, aged 16 and 17, said they had been given alcohol by patrons on the outdoor terrace.

The municipality considers that the pub failed to maintain order and sobriety, did not check the patrons' ages, and did not have adequate supervision of the outdoor terrace. The pub denies that the young people were their patrons or were served there, and says that IDs were checked on booked guests at the entrance. Source: SVT Nyheter Jönköping

The electricity bill could be the highest in a long time

November's electricity bill could be the highest in a long time if you live south of the Dalälven River. New price records were set last week due to nuclear power plant shutdowns, unfavourable weather and record-high gas prices on the European continent. Monday–Wednesday look set to be even more expensive than last week's prices, according to an analyst at Bixia, as it looks like there will be completely calm winds in Germany.
