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?

Fashion ban & 3D clothesMy mum went through a stage of making clothes for us kids and insisting we wore them. One day she made me a fetching pair of golden, yes golden trousers! that were half mast and so very very shiny.
This was bad enough but worse was to come when she made me wear them with the jumper my gran had knitted me the week before...it was purple with a picture of an ice-cream sunday on it, but the three scoops of ice-cream were made from pom-poms!
I wore them though, as it was either that or the tracksuit my gran had knitted me, complete with arm and leg stripes - I kid thee not.
I'm still very very lonely.
