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?

My ParentsBanned me from wearing trainers at primary school and insisted i wear those clarks type shoes. One time they bought me sandals and at home time the teacher used to go 'all those with blue eyes can leave first, all those with blonde hair can leave first' etc until one time she said all those with sandals can leave first. Naturally all the girls stood up, and then me with them. I got the piss ripped out of me for that.
Also when i buy new clothes i always lie about how much they cost me, i knock 20 quid off everything just incase my dad flips. I cant just stay out too when i go out clubbing if im stopping over at someones house or else my mum WILL wait up for me. Im 21.
I wasnt allowed across the road until i was 12. I also wasnt allowed any chocolate or sweets until i was 8. Te first time i had ice cream i asked my nan to put it in the microwave.
Not so bad as i look back but at the time it was one of those its so unfair... kevin and perry types.
People weren't allowed ITV? Bloody hell get a grip parents.
