Actually maybe this will be a better way of sving money than putting it into a savings account, buy a PC sell it in 6 months for £100 more!

RIght, who's got a van I can borrow to go to PC world?

That = investing in the rising Euro or Dollar. Why not just open an account in one of these and keep cash there?

New car prices are also going up for the same reason.

Almost everything we buy is imported. Cars, computers, clothing, food, fuel.

The pound is becoming worthless and so goods are going to get more expensive. At the same time wages and contract rates are falling.

Well, you would expect just about that amount of increase in GBP terms. Shame for people who are now also paying higher VAT on that, there's no reason for VAT amount to go up, it's not priced in $ or €.
