The UK, on the other hand, is saved from lowering wages because we can just inflate/devalue our way out of it.
Other Euro countries, on the other hand, not so much.

Hahahaha!
Wages in the UK went down 3.5% in the last year, and from memory they were down the year before as well, and possibly the one before that too. See e.g. http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2011/nov/23/uk-household-earnings-fall
Or did you mean saved from lowering nominal wages? Which is indeed an important thing - it's becoming increasingly apparent in the current eurocrisis that nominal wages are very, very hard to lower.
But that's rather different from an unqualified "wages". Inflation does matter!
