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?

never take your mum down the pubmy brother took my mum down the pub for the first time when she visited his new house.
we've always through my mum was stuck in the past, but this was remarkable.
walking back from the pub, a few glasses of white wine later, my mum got very upset. She, my brother and his wife, and their neighbours were walking in a line along a narrow pavement back to his house when she cried (in all seriousness)
"don't walk in a line! if you do that, the japs will get us. The sniper always shoots the one at the back and no one notices"
they had to obey, otherwise she would have kept screaming.
this was in 2003. 58 years after Japan surrendered in WWII. not that that counts for my mother.
