Salad Days in Bodmin


Reporter Terry Fleet is with the youth of Bodmin at Nelson’s Diner where moves to set up a youth club seem to be thwarted mostly by apathy. The disaffected girls and boys have some differing ideas about forming a club and the local council are looking into it. Hanging out at the cafe listening to the jukebox or even marrying young provide some escapism from the humdrum but the lack of extra-curricular activities mean that even the traffic’s stop moving!
