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?

One more...Oh, and I was never allowed a gameboy, because my mother thought that I would develop arthritis in my thumbs that would interfere with my music.
Even when I bought one off the mate of the son of my CDT teacher for £20, she found it hidden in my knicker drawer and made me give it back. I didn't get recompensed the £20 though.
10 years later, I am now completely addicted to the Star Wars Lego game on the PS2, and my thumbs (and all my other digits) are fine, as is my flute-playing.
Silly mother.
