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?

T'internetMy parents are pretty easy going on almost everything, except seemingly the internet.
My Dad has warned me about looking up porn, as he "doesn't want the police involved". I was 18 at the time, I'm fairly sure he wasn't talking about me being involved in kiddie porn or any other questionable content, just looking at naked ladies.
My Mum got seriously worried when she learned that, at 16, I was talking to friends of friends, people I hadn't met yet, on MSN, with my picture showing.
Needless to say, this hasn't stopped me from abusing the interweb constantly, although I've never met a random MSN contact.
