Neither have I.
But I would change the "too" in the next sentence. I think either is the correct form there.

It �s "Neither have I". Pilar is right, change too for either.

"Neither have I " is correct as far as the first sentence is in the negative form , we respond using "neither" Bye |

Both are negative : �too � doesn �t work .... a simple �nor/neither works in both sentences.
btw, please : can we always use either �nor � or �neither � in negative replies??? Native speakers around, please help: I �m not sure I got that one right. - I know "I would neither go horseriding nor swimming" .... but when you answer somebody "- neither would I"/"Nor would I" ... is there a difference? |

@Pelletrine, First, we say horseback riding, not horseriding. In the US, "nor would I" sounds very old-fashioned and stilted, but not incorrect. "Neither would I" or "I wouldn �t, either" are both correct and common. Bruce |
