Who the fuck is Kings Avenue? It would suit some us/uk location, but this is f cyprus and they could at least have had a cypriot sounding name FFS.
How about after one of our occupied places as a constant reminder. I hate these f cyps that want eveything English sounding, assholes.


By all means give a Cypriot name. The name does not make such a place any more or less attractive, at least not to me. Indeed As one of the Brits here I can tell you such places like these Malls have little attraction to me. We sometimes visit My Mall in Limassol but that is to take the girlies skating, not for the shopping.

So you suggest that mall should be called "Aphrodite mall"? or "KENTRIKO EMPORIKO KENTRO - TAFI VASILEON" ???

Kings Avenue is a perfect name, make sence... just like Westfield, Kingscross... its named after location, its easy and international.
And thank god it opened, I have a holiday flat just opposite!

Well I hope you make a packet on your apartment.

Westfield, Kingscross are UK and are named with UK names. This is Cyprus, they could at least have named it locally. That's what I am saying.

Seems you have been away a long time. Good to see you back.

No mall, no rink I'm afraid. Not in a million years.
This is monoculture at it's best in CY.
