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?

not my parents as such but...............my Nan once made me eat a teaspoon of Fairy Liquid for saying Shit, and was convinced that knoackered did not mearely mean tired, but in fact meant tired after having sex (your guess is as good as mine there)
I was not allowed Barbies or any of those toys that would cause me to want all the related toys, so no mutant ninja turtles, he man figures, Poochie (remeber that piece of crap?) or anything reatled to that, except for flower fairys, which were allowed becuase of the relationship between them and the poetry of C M Barker (who was some kind of early photoshop fraudster who got lots of people to believe in fairys at the bottom of her garden). I never minded really becuae i was never into toys that much, i really wanted a chemistry set and a microscope, which i get eventually, when i was 15.
I love my ma and pa, they rock!
