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 parents used to ban the weirdest stuff....I was banned from playing my commodore 64 even though I had an NES (!?!?). As a child I was not allowed to listen to Queen as they were "Satanic". The same goes for the fantasy edition of Top Trumps and of course Dungeons & Dragons was right out.
We (me and my brothers) used to be allowed to watch spitting image on a sunday night but one day that was banned too, never found out why. Star Wars got banned one christmas, no idea why.
Oh and to this day I have been banned from bringing one particular friend of mine round to my house, the reason? My dad says, in his own words, "He's devious looking, always looks like he is scheming, shifty eyes....oh and a cunt" Sad thing is, I kinda agree with him.
