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?

MudguardsMy dad went a bit mental whenever mudguards were mentioned on bikes.
For some bizarre reason that remains unexplained to this day, I was not allowed to ride a bicycle that did not have mudguards. It could have been hotter than the firey depths of hell, and still I wouldn't have been able to ride that fucker if it didn't have mudguards.
He would go apoplectic at the merest suggestion.
I had such a lovely childhood :(
