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?

Food and stuffAs a young child in the 70's I NEVER had ice cream bought for me by my Mum or Dad...Not that they thought it was bad for me but that neither of them liked it so didn't bother (grrrr)...Also as they were both leftie hippie types thought that toy guns or anything vaguely warlike(toy soldiers etc) were the devils spawn and I wasn't allowed them AT ALL EVER...If I played war at school and said anything to my dad about it he would go into a big "so you think war is good do you" lecture where he would go through members of my family (granny Granda Uncles etc) and say- "Would you like them to die in a War!!???"....Mmmmmm don't think it worked really as I am really interested in military history, wargame regularly, fence and own a collection of swords etc...
