@CanadianUK I’ve applied for Canadian tourist visa from London and the processing times are said to be 345 days?! A friend got hers after 11 month and missed a friends wedding. I’ll unfortunately miss my holiday in Canada at this rate..but curious to know the reason for delay?

Two of my friends recently visited Paradise Cove in Midigama and were charged in EUR. They are locals. Is this legal? If not - what action should we take?

Sounds like it’s normal practice from the reviews below.

@crewforshoots This is in response to a restructuring of their global operations. Oriflame bond prices are trading at >30 cents to the dollar. And Q1 2024 sales were down by 25%

On the hilltop of Rajagala, in the jungles of central Sri Lanka, can be found one of the earliest Buddhist inscriptions in world, carved in the early Brahmi script dating from c200BCE. It lies next to a small stone mound, as slight as the earliest N Indian stupas at Lumbini. The inscription reads:

"This is the stupa of the elder Ittiya and the elder Mahinda, who came to this Island by its foremost good fortune."

@HellenicTrain 👋 we had 5 tickets for the Kalabaka - Athens train on 6th September 2023 but all trains were cancelled due to flooding. We have tried calling you to process a refund but nobody is picking up the calls?

🐘 Sri Lanka's 🇱🇰 wild elephant population is declining rapidly.

⭕ The last elephant census conducted in Sri Lanka was in 2011, which counted 5,879 elephants, approximately 6,000.

⚠️ Over the past 10 years, nearly 3,500 elephants have been reported dead. If this alarming trend persists, elephants in this country could face extinction within the next 25-30 years.

@DulithHerath More importantly, how is the light on when it’s not plugged in? 😅

@uuwuuni Congratulations!

@sarindau There is also a switch to near-sourcing? Switching production to countries that would support shorter lead times like Turkey (For EU/UK)

@spillnceylontea @flysrilankan @gautam_adani They’ve taken UL off the normal SOE restructuring route and are now negotiating with IFC for a sale. Unsure why this might be but I suspect that they will privatise catering, ground handling and engineering to bring equity to the airline and not privatise the airline itself.

@LNER I’ve just got an email confirming the refund. Thanks.

@Bhanoob Cash flow positive with one shipment? 😳 i would double check that. Perhaps excluding initial capex.
