"pay rises are not the only thing that create inflation"

Quite right Capt., I don't think I said they were! I said:-

"The better control is to encourage hard work and maximise production, control public spending, and hold down income inflation. That way, prices don't rise (or not as fast), so no need for big pay-increases chasing prices."

I reckon I said pretty much the same as you, but in different words?
