Cinemas are of the devil
Many years ago when I was young and foolish, I travelled to the wilds of northern England in an attempt to enjoy cheap beer and young ladies for 3 years, and possibly pick up a degree as a bonus.

In my halls I discovered that there a number of education students from an associated teacher training college who were packed off to the real uni for a year of their specialist subject.

One of these girls was from a particular Christian sect known as the Plymouth Brethren, featured in the recent film "Son of Rambow" (no idea if the Open or Exclusive branch), who appeared to be there only because teaching was a suitable role for a woman prior to marriage, and that the teaching college was in a sleepy town. I can only speculate that she had a very sheltered upbringing as on the occasion of being taken to the local den of iniquity known as the cinema she had a panic attack as it was wrong to be there.

We did finally get her into pubs and clubs.

Lovely girl, totally screwed up by her religious upbringing.

(NB: In checking some of the details, Wikipedia tells me that Aleister Crowley was raised in an Exclusive Brethren family. That could have been interesting)

Ahhhh yes...
...the plastic breadbins, as they were known at my school, deny themselves and their kids TV for some reason or another.

These people
seem to be especially nutty. Also somewhat lacking in genetic diversity, if you get my drift.
