South African guy. I had to pin him down to talk, with eye contact and "Gidday", picking up stuff going to the counter and I still couldn't get anyone to speak to me.

I asked, "do you not sell magazines here?" And he grunted a no, I said "oh. I write for NZO and I wanted to provide some free advertising of a shop in return for getting things posted here" another grunt, looking at the floor, I gave up at that point. No suggestion of who I could go to instead like who the manager or owner was to talk to. I bought my item and left in awkward silence.

I'm not trying to say I'm a big headed be all and end all.

What I loved about Mainly Hunting was the genuine love and enthusiasm of the outdoors and passion to get people onto things. They were always honest and helpful and excited. I was hoping for a similar thing in HB. Perhaps it was a bad day for this chap. I might give it another go but the mag may well say no anyway seeing as they don't sell any magazines.
