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?

My Mum's a looperWhilst at primary school, I was never allowed to go on a school trip which would involve water.
I had to make the "long" walk to school, filled with feelings of dread and embarrasment, with the letter from mum, stating that I could not go on a boat trip as "Young moondust would jump over the side and drown"
Then the following year there was a trip to the local hydro-electric dam. Obviously, my fictious and apparantly fatal facination for leaping into water was brought to the fore and yet again I had to suffer the jibes from my school mates, but this time the teacher read out the letter from my mum aloud to the class.
Mum denies she ever said any thing of the sort.
