Strict Parents
I 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?

I was banned from being at home.
Bear with me.
At the age of seven, my parents sent me (and my sister who was 8) to boarding school.
Over 300 miles away.
By train.
With Nuns to supervise us (and about a dozen other children) from Liverpool St station (I think it was).
We came back at the end of terms and sent away at the end of holiday.
I finished boarding school at 16 - I'd changed to one that was drivable to by then - only 2 hours drive.
Now that's hard.
b3ta IS my therapy from all that....
