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?

BANNED from watching or listening to radio version of Top Of The PopsTheir reason was "because it's not proper music". This started in the late eighties, and for my age this meant no Rick Astley, Kylie, Jason, Bananarama, Pepsi & Shirley (generally no Stock Aitken Waterman), Five Star, Bros, Worlds Apart etc, etc. (carrying on through most of the 90s)
This meant all I had to listen to was my parents' records from 60s/70s.
Result?
My friends from back then now listen to acts like Phil Collins, Robbie Williams and Boyzone.
I like everything but. And b3ta. Which I think says it all, really.
Thinking of banning my kids from iTunes or suchlike when they finally arrive...
