    Twice as much as it'll be worth in 10 years at 7% inflation. Are people still holding cash, and if not where are they stashing it away?

        What do people think the EUR/GBP rate will drop to, I have some Euros that I need to convert to pounds, but maybe I should hold off.

          I believe inflation on food is running in double digits now.

          Luckily the plasma TV inflation of -10% cancels it out.

            The deflation in food and food packet sizes also helps.
