Can you see any problem with that?

Hey all!

I prefer "neither" but "nor" sounds just fine to me, maybe a little "high-brow", but well, I'm from a simple, mid-western farming community!

Neither nor nor neither are wrong. :)

Somebody told me that "and nor" is always wrong, but I feel the sentence is acceptable.

Dear OP

I can see nothing wrong with the sentence, and nor should you.
