Buying MBUK at this time of year

Was going to buy the latest MBUK as I heard this issue features a piece on Cannock?
I don't wish to subscribe to any magazines as I like to take it or leave it as I fancy but do you think I can get hold of a copy without venturing to a town centre (can't be bothered with that either) to W.H.Smiths etc..?
Visited 3 local newsagents and 2 branches of COOP this morning, the COOP usually always have MBR and MBUK but not right now, asked in the newsagents and one of them told me that Mountain Biking is seasonal so they only stock related magazines in Spring and Summer. :shock:
Which by their logic basically means not only do people not want to ride through the Autumn and Winter months, they don't want to read about it either until all the liddle pwetty fwowers return once more...ahh bless.
I pointed out that real Mountain Bikers such as myself and many others ride ALL YEAR including on ice and snow while the fair weather brigade scurry off to the gyms and reach for the turbo trainers, but to no avail.
Oh well, roll on Spring and Summer, so I can once again read about my hobby.

I always forget these places stock most things a newsagent might, probably because I'm in a hurry to get the hell away from these places as I lack the patience to deal with pottering people that have zero awareness that anyone else might be in the store.
Hate shopping. :x0 -
Surprised the Co-op don't have it. I usually get mine from there or the local newsagents. Having said that, I live in the Mountain Bike Capital of The Midlands and we get all the comics, even mba .
But going on hols in the UK is a nightmare - Carve, What Tractor?, Horse & Rider , Small Bore Firearm Monthly etc :roll: everything apart from MTB mags.0 -
Even better I've just bought my 12 month sub to a mountain bike mag with just £10 worth of club card points 0

No local newsagents have mbuk or any mountain bike magazines, they stock roadie mags tho. I have to go down to ASDA or into Bolton for WHSmiths. Thats annoys me as people get in the way, while they read "I'm and selfish short arsed twat weekly"0
