After a rummage through my wallet I remembered that i had left it in my duck shooting bag ( bummer). I apologized for my mistakes and said that I would have to return at a later date. The shop assistant offered to keep them under the counter until i returned but i said it would be a few days before i could get back. I commend hunting and fish on there procedures and its good to know that stores are following the rules. Well done

They could have just sold it to you without you producing your licence.

It's only a problem if you don't have a licence.

Nothing in law to say you have to show it, just have it.
