Its true that some of these buildings do have long masts at the top and include those in their heights, but its a bit disingenuous - a bit like wearing a 12" hat and adding a foot to your stated height!

The Taipei 101 is drawn over 100m higher than it is in reality. The Petronas are over 50m off. It's kind of an important thing when making this sort of diagram...

Tom Riall, 49, is a chief executive of Serco, which has provided more than 5,000 speed cameras in the UK.
