It is the copyright organization Stim that writes in a press release that the special fee should apply to road users who play loud music with the windows down. The license costs SEK 1,400 per vehicle and is valid for “one season of roaming”. A-tractors are exempt from the license requirement and if you only play epadunk you will not have to pay any fee.
At the same time reporting Sydsvenskan that the SVT series “Thin blue line” will be moved from Malmö to Lund. Since Lund’s municipality is now governed by a coalition consisting of social democrats and moderates, demands were made for a name change, which means that the series will henceforth be called “Thin red-blue line”.
In Stockholm, the amusement park Gröna Lund has decided to go ahead with its Night Rider concept, which two years in a row has turned the amusement park into a nightclub in the month of August. Now Single Rider will also be introduced, a similar concept, but for singles. In a press release, the amusement park writes that guests will have the opportunity to meet their future partners, including through speed dating in the Jetline roller coaster and the opportunity for deeper conversations in the Kärlekstunneln.
On Saturday it was also announced that the water tower Svampen in Örebro will be repainted. Unlike today’s striped outfit, it will be painted to look like a red toadstool. The reason is to prevent insect attacks.
The men’s Swedish football club Mjällby AIF announced that the club will change its name to By AIF. The reason is that they entered into a collaboration with the dandruff shampoo Head&Shoulders, which means that it is seen as natural that “dandruff” disappears.

The construction department store chain Byggmax was suitable to present his name change on Saturday. When the company was founded, it was called Gunnars Byggnetto, a name that disappeared in 1999. Now the name will return.
– This year we celebrate 30 years in the home fixer’s service and today, April 1st, we take the chance to set everything right again. Now we are rolling out our new logo and want to take the opportunity to invite all Gunnars to the store, who on this special day will get a nice thumbtack in the cash register, says Sanna Westman, marketing manager at Byggmax, in a press release.
Another hardware store chain, Bauhaus, announced that the EYEMEAZURE3000 eye gauge will be available for sale in stores. With autoscanning, a horizontal field of view and a measuring distance of up to five kilometers, the eye gauge is a perfect addition to the toolbox, writes the company.
In Malå in Västerbothnia promised municipal councilor Lennart Gustavsson (V) that the municipality’s residents would have their electricity price reduced by 50 percent. The only problem was that he sent it out on Friday, a day too early, reports SVT Västerbotten.
– It was of course a mistake to send out a day too early. It was a way to add some humor and maybe one or two laughs, he tells the channel on Saturday.
On the first of April, one can also remember one of the more classic April Fools’ jokes. It was on April 1, 1962 that SVT tricked the Swedes into running and getting a nylon stocking and pulling it over the TV to get color TV.
Like several other media, DN no longer has any April Fools’ jokes of its own.
