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?

tricksWhen I was a wee lad the newsagent up the road used to sell all kind of amazing joke produce ie. bars of soap that would make your face black or a fake chewing gum packet with a mouse trap style stick of gum.
I used to spend all my pocket money on this sort of tat until the day I bought home some exploding matches. When my mum found out she went mental calling the newsagent irresponsible etc etc and marched me straight up there to give the owner an earfull whilst pointing at me.
The outcome of this episode was that the newsagent removed ALL the joke products from his shop to the dismay of all the kids on the estate.
Needless to say I wasn't the most popular kid around for a good few months and got chased by gangs of angry kids whenever I stepped outside.
Thanks mum, no really...thanks.
