Which is gramatically more correct?
1. Count Fred and me in.

2. Count Fred and I in.

At first I thought it was 2, not so sure now.

p.s. there's a pint on this so any evidence appreciated. Big Grin

'Count Fred and myself in' would be the more correct response. Answers 1 & 2 would only ever be an appropriate response perhaps to some bogan golf piss-up outing invite.

Make mine a Harvey's.
Run. Just run.

Yes thank you MLCMM for answering a question I didn't ask. Dodgy

This is not golf or beer related, the name has been changed to protect the innocent.

Sorry OM, the brewery is not owned by Harvey, it's 'Harveys'. 
I do appreciate that Autocorrect does not readily accept the fact.

'Count myself and Fred in' would seem to cover it, but as in all things grammatical I defer to m'learned friends El Gordo and Tom Roper.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
