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?

Dib dib don'tI was banned from joining the cubs or scouts because my mum objected on principle to all paramilitary organisations.
I was also not allowed to join the army cadet corps at school later and was bullied mercilessly as a result not just by my schoolmates but also by my housemaster.
Oh, and I was stopped from having guitar lessons so that I could learn the french horn instead. Who else plays the french horn except for military maching bands?
And I was banned from riding a motorbike.
