Can I make a suggestion?
have you thought about approaching the management and asking if you can do this type of work across a few stores? you can use the guys who work in store so it is just you that moves about.
you may be surprised at the outcome. if you don't trust your manager, try going above them to higher area management with fact and figures regarding attendance of your demos, after demo sales etc.
you don't need to be tied to your contract as it would seem that Halfords aren't.
other than that, does your manager know that its not really your job but you do it because you enjoy it? I bet if you put one of your techie chaps in front of a dozen brownies, he/she would pay you the difference in wages to get out of it.
you may look at this as an opportunity to advance your job prospects to something you really like doing, or you could carry on sulking about it (not be horrible here, just saying it from your managers/colleagues point of view)
best of luck
