EDITORIAL<br />
Your friends are on holiday, you’re bored of all your toys, you haven’t got a book to read, your<br />
mum’s too busy to take you to the swimming pool. I can still remember that feeling of ennui<br />
during long summer holidays when all I could think of to do was to watch kids’ TV. And there<br />
was one show which rubbed it all in: Why Don’t You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go Out<br />
and Do Something Less Boring Instead? The producers were obviously hoping you wouldn’t take<br />
them literally until the end of the programme, during which spruced-up kid presenters suggested<br />
all manner of activities you could take up to pass your time in a more creative manner.<br />
Most of us, sadly, aren’t so time rich nowadays, but we can still take that worthy message to heart,<br />
which is why we have used its title as our theme this <strong>July</strong> issue. In a way it encapsulates the ethos<br />
we’ve always had here at <strong>Viva</strong>: our remit is to encourage people to go out and do some of the<br />
stuff that’s being put on or offered by the movers and<br />
shakers of the community, whether that’s a trip to<br />
the new cinema, an art class, a political talk, a session<br />
in the spanking new skate park, a nature walk on the<br />
Downs, or whatever. The more people go out, the more<br />
stuff will be put on for their benefit, and so on, in a<br />
virtuous circle of get-up-and-go-ness. A simple message,<br />
but an easy one to follow, and within these pages are a<br />
host of possibilities. Enjoy the issue...<br />
