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?

Crimpers!Any ladies about my age (27) will remember the crimping trend of the 80's [shudders]. Looking back, it was truly hideous, but twas the dream of every little 12 year old girl to have hair that looked like a crinkle-cut chip. My mate Vicky, who had rich parents and therefore had everything she wanted, had a set of crimpers and kindly crimped my locks. I walked home from her house pleased as punch to receive a belting from mum. She didn't approve and said I looked like "a little tart". Snivvle.
Also, she didn't allow me to have my ears pierced until I was 13, but I now thank her for that one.
