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?

Not parent but grandparentI was raised by my Gran and she wouldn't let me learn to swim in case I drowned (irony) or go to friends houses or have any friends over to my house.
But the classic was not letting me go on school trips anywhere in case the IRA bombed killed me (what a small girl ever did to a Irish paramilitary group remains a mystery to this day...)
Oh and I'm still bitter that I was made to watch Swap Shop instead of 'that disgusting show' Tiswas...
