Pete has been setting the stage alight at Mediacat's latest conference in Istanbul with his latest thinking and trend-spotting in the world of customer experience and store design.
Immediately follwiing the presentation he was mobbed by reporters from press and TV and ended up in today's Hurriyet, Turkey's biggest selling daily! But's what with the Mickey mouse ears Pete?

Do you love it? Or do you hate it?? Yes, I am talking about MARMITE!
It has been the hot topic in the studio this week with everyone declaring which side they fall into in the love/hate debate! Personally I am a total lover of the sticky dark brown paste. I don't even care how it comes.... From simply spreading it on hot buttery toast, or the slightly more healthier option of coating it on celery and finally a personal favourite has to be the cheddar cheese and marmite sandwich- classic!
So, you can imagine my delight when I discovered the opening of the new Marmite pop up store on London's Regent Street. Exclusively open for 10 weeks over the festive period this store occupying 3 floors sells over 100 marmite themed products from coasters to t-towels through to t-shirts and marmite oatcakes but not forgetting the humble jar of marmite itself!
The real excitement came when I discovered that there is even an in store café selling tea with toast and marmite! Brilliant! If you are even feeling slightly adventurous you can even treat yourself to a cup of tea and crumpets with lashings of marmite, beautiful!
I definitely recommend that you take a trip to this wonderful world of marmite, even if you are a hater. Right with all this talk of marmite I think it's time to get that kettle on and get those crumpets at the ready!!
London could have a very different skyline in the future .
The Cloud was shortlisted in a competition set-up by London Mayor Boris Johnson.
The structure draws on work by artist Tomas Saraceno, a German-based designer.
The Cloud is just shortlisted but we think this could be very exciting for London
and would make a great change from the gray dull clouds we see every day!
