Any question answered...

Which tub tape = Tufo or Velox?

Tufo.

Tufo or Velox.

Both

Tufo's easier to apply correctly and the tub seats on it better.

All idiots use Tufo.

I've been using it for two years now and have never looked back.

Does anyone know how to calculate depreciation?

I need to work out what the value of an item is that was new in 2002.

Current (new) price is £822.

What's the item and what's the expected useful life?

Basin+taps+pedestal, and tricky to say- they are high quality ceramic with no chips/marks, and solid brass taps that have been chromed.

I'd say there is 20 years left in them, minimum.

So, 30 year lifetime? You're a third of the way through that (2002-2012) so they've depreciated by a third so the residual value is around £540.

For larger, capital intensive items you would go crazy with interest rates and could use non-linear depreciation. For this, that's about as close as you need to get.

So if I tell the chap that messaged me asking for a BIN that I think £300 is the price that would not be outrageous?

(In terms of depreciation)

Just emailed a seller on eBay, asking what the reserve is, they responded with "it would be unfair on the other bidders to reveal this".

I cannot for the life of me think why- it's not like it wouldn't apply to me if I knew what it was!

^ Not a question.

I'd question that.

If I want to say:

-"Please contact Bob or myself in the event of..."

Is that grammatically correct? Or should it be "myself and Bob"?

Cheers.

Change your name to Bob. Problem solved.

What's wrong with "Bob or me"?

The latest indie movie to storm American box offices.

Leave it as "Bob or myself in the event" then in the event of the event then it will be Bob who has to deal with it not you (particularly if the event is something going wrong).

I just had this feeling that if you were listing people and you use "I" then you put yourself last, but if using "me" then you put yourself first.

Anyway, thanks for the replies.

Well, the (originally) reflexive pronoun in English is often applied for emphasis in the (weakened) accusative and while it's poor style, it's widely accepted usage by now. It's just that it is felt that 'please contact Bob or me' (which is completely correct) doesn't quite sound right. I think that's because of the vague relationship between verbs and pronouns owing to the weakness of pronoun declension in English. The 'me' doesn't seem to relate to 'contact' well enough, which is why people swerve it and use 'myself' instead.

If you want to get around the problems with either possibility, you can always extend the phrase to something like: 'Please contact either of us, Bob X or hugo7 X, if you need further information.' There's often no better resolution of such nagging little problems.

No, you should generally put yourself last in a list of people, unless there's a particular reason not to, as a matter of etiquette. Whether or not you should use 'I' or 'me/myself' doesn't depend on that order but on what you're saying. Always try the sentence only with 'I' or 'me' and without the whole list. That should usually tell you what to use.

That's a very affectionate note, Oliver.
