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?

RunningMy parents lovingly forbade me from running on any form of concrete in case I fell and hurt myself. Grass was fine, concrete a no-no.
Such was the fear instilled in me by the parentals that the day I got myself caught in a barbed wire fence and ripped my arm to shreds I slowly paced the whole mile or so home.
Got home, got yelled at for being stupid, passed out and then got driven to the hospital by my mother who had no driving license and a whopping FOUR lessons under her belt.
They also banned me from playing with my friend Nick who listened to a lot of Ice-T and thought he was a ninja. I can understand that one.
