It buys a lot, £200,000. In Manchester it gets you a semi in the suburbs, or 50 acres of green and pleasant countryside outside them. By the water? You could always put it down it on a houseboat.
Or maybe you're a bit of a high roller. Super car, maybe? Or one of Liz Taylor's diamond necklaces. One thing you probably wouldn't want to lay down 200 big ones on is a pair of speakers, even if they are "without compromise" (which makes them sound like a pro wrestler) and called Alexandria XLF (again, quite wrestler-y).
