Perhaps with 5 more seconds thought you might have 'got it'. Brand names
are universal. Our UK visitors however like the idea of shopping in other
famous streets outside the UK.

So, they could go to Fifth Avenue, click on Tiffany & Co., and be taken
inside the Tiffany *UK* website. Tiffany will then deliver their goods to
them in the UK. They can literally have breakfast at the world famous 5th
Avenue Tiffany's, in their dressing gown. Breakfast at Tiffany's.

We haven't finished the 5th Ave. streetscape yet, but it is coming.

Sorry that makes no sense. We are testing the site to a UK audience. Thus
how it works in Pakistan is not important. When we launch our portal in
Pakistan, then it will. That is quite logical and how every single web
company in the world started. You wanted us to launch globally from day
one? Fine, if you give us the money to enable it! Think things through
before posting.

Yet you replied to others just not our message where you were proven wrong.
