    Mr Qurashi, 39, has paid £43 million for the Britain-shaped island in The World,
    a man-made archipelago off the coast of Dubai, where each piece of land represents a different country, state or city.

      Should have saved himself £42,999,999 and got the real thing.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        I'm guessing he didn't want a depreciating asset.

            I am upset the daily mail has lowered itself to commenting on house prices.

            How the mighty are fallen.
