According to EVRI the maximum weight they will accept is 15kg. Is it different in Sweden ? I recently received a package which was 16kgs - the EVRI driver said he had the right to refuse it, but he brought it anyway - he's a good 'lad' From their website .......... Evri parcel weight limits The Evri parcel weight limit is 15kg. We base our prices on your parcel’s weight, so whether the parcel is small or large, please make sure you choose the right weight for your parcel: Postable parcels (letterbox-friendly & under 1kg) Under 1kg 1-2kg 2-5kg 5-10kg 10-15kg

The nipple is 'off centre' with a boss going to the centre of the base - is there a small horizontal hole going thru to the boss from the nipple. (it could be blocked) ?

Have you got fuel in the filter ? If you fill the filter before assembly does fuel come out of the bleed nipple if you loosen it ? Is the bleed nipple blocked ? Of course someone could just have replaced the 'correct bolt' with a nipple !

If you mean this one - it looks like a bleed nipple to drain water out of the bottom of the filter.

Well, it appears that the experience of forum members with regard to EVRI is very postive - but, as I said it is the driver not the company that makes or breaks their reputation.

Fat boat owners don't think they should pay more than the anorexics. CCers dont believe they should pay more than HMers NBTA members believe they shouldn't be made to move HMers think that CCers wear out the infrastructure. Historic boats seem to think they have priority at locks People who still 'work' think they should not have to move People with children at school think they should not have to move and so it goes on

My house insurance is due - having "spoken" with an online-bot for some time I eventually managed to get it to transfer me to a human. Explained that having been with them for several years I now find they are uncompetitive - he said 'give me a minute' and then came back and reduced the renewal from £413 to £323. Worth asking. My FTTP broadband contract (vodaphone) is also up for renewal this month - it has crept upover the years to be now £54 per month for 100Mbps so I asked to be connected the the "I'm thinking of leaving deaprtment" and a very nice man said I can do something for you and quoted me £19.50 per month for the FTTP150 package which (as it suggests) gives 150Mbps - so - a 50% increse in speed. Where is customer loyalty rewarded ? It takes some persistence but I always 'act daft' (it's not difficult) and explain I'm an OAP and not very good on the computer, so can they do it for me.

As I say - my experience differs, and I can only say as I find. Our Evri driver even collects my outgoing parcels (at no charge) so save me driving miles to the nearest drop off point. I don't believe it is the 'company' that has the problems, it is the actual 'couldn't care less attitude' of some of the drivers. Get a 'good' driver and you get good service, and, vice versa.

UK Inland boaters are not an homogenous group, in fact it would be better to say they are heterogeneous. There are so many factions each wanting very different features and benefits to other groups that there is, in reality, not a hope of ever getting concensus.

Our 'muck heap' gets quite warm it steams away and no snow ever stays on it. We had some damp hay once and we stacked it in the barn, a day later there was smoke issuing out of the barn and we had to hand-ball 100s of bales of damp (heavy), and very hot hay out into the yard - some of the bales actually ignited and started burning once the air/oxygen hit them. A neighbouring farmer lost his barn and several other outbuildings and vehicles from storing damp hay - we were about 1/2 mile + away and realised what was happening when the barn roof (asbestos sheets) started exploding and then the sky lit up - a fire due to damp hay ! So, I'd say to you, damp material (vegetable matter, poop etc) WILL heat up.

"its been parked across my drive" "its been abandoned" Are two of the acceptable reasons. Who knows if they are truthful ?
