Apostrophe?
Or maybe it's correct?
Tombs of the king's avenue? incorrect.

If it's one King it's King’s Avenue. If it's more than one King it's Kings’ Avenue.
As it refers to Tomb of the Kings (plural) it should be Kings’ Avenue.

If it was "The Avenue of Kings" then it's acceptable to elliptically say "Kings Avenue". The avenue does not *belong* to the Kings but it is an Avenue full of Kings.

Anyway, the panic is on again as Jumbo's hasn't stocked Christmas Crackers ... and, oh my goodness, it must be nearly the end of November!
Some people like an old greasy box to stick their bone in.........

Yes that would be about right.
The Reebok, and Mobile Phone retailers would have done a roaring trade!

Oh goodness, I could really start to feel sorry for the poorly-pensioned Peyia-Pats. They have so been looking forward to this but it's just going to be 'window shopping' for them, I guess!
As for Russians ... none of the shops look exclusive enough.
