kendall, there are numerous activities available for young people but many of them don't seem interested. There are clubs for almost any type of sport. There are the Cadet branches of all the Forces. There are Scouting and Guiding groups, (and they're not by any means as 'twee' as they used to be; they offer adventure and interesting activities). There are music, choral and instrumental groups. Also St John Ambulance, Red Cross and other First Aid organisations. Not to mention the Junior branches of any and every church and religious community. There are also youth clubs, and clubs associated with the youngsters' schools. The possibilities are endless. I get quite cross when these feckless and idle young people whinge that 'there's nowhere to go and nothing to do.'
