Strict ParentsI always thought my parents were quite strict, but I can't think of anything they actually banned me from doing, whereas a good friend was under no circumstances allowed to watch ITV because of the adverts.
This week's Time Out mentions some poor sod who was banned from sitting in the aisle seats at cinemas because, according to their mother, "drug dealers patrol the aisles, injecting people in the arm."
What were you banned from doing as a kid by loopy parents?

my friendused to stop her car on the way to school every day to do the following:
1 remove green gimp L plates (which only make people cut you up)
2 put in earrings (i don't get why this was so subversive at her house. it wasn't exactly a nose stud with chain leading to her nipples)
3 tune stereo off radio 4 (her parents thought she wouldn't use the radio if it was tuned to that and so she would drive more safely)
4 put on makeup (essential natch)
5 roll over skirt, unbutton shirt etc
6 light fag
then on the way home she'd stop and reverse it all.
at the time this seemed horrendous to me, cruising around in my 1970s uber-cool beetle and breaking every school rule i felt like. now, however, i look back and see spoiled brats in their shiny 1 week old car bought as a 17th birthday present whinging about the £4,000 a term school uniform...
does this mean i'm getting really really old?
