Odd Stuff (Part 4)

They are the only ones that I know of who have bred reindeer for riding. Those reindeer are quite inbred and bringing in new blood from outside might make them unrideable again.

Helsinki has yet one less old-time service.

Helsingin Uutiset tells readers that Veikko Tiainen, probably the capital’s last typewriter repairman, has closed up his shop in the city’s Alppila district.

Starting in the 1960s, Tiainen mainly repaired old typewriters, slightly newer electric typewriters, mechanical calculators, and sewing machines.

He told the paper although many mechanical typewriters these days are mostly showpieces or home decorations, people want to keep them in working order, and he had as much business as he could handle.

However, he decided to finally retire and there seems to be no one to take his place…

“No, I think I’m the last one. That’s about it. Fixing these requires a lot of technical experience,” Tiainen said in an interview with HU.
