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?

mums...mehMy mum turned ultra strict whe she went through the 'change', and as I was still living at home it was me that bore the brunt of her tattered emotions and foibles.
One of which was going absolutely bongo if I left soap suds in the kitchen sink after washing the pots - she actually demonstrated to me how to wash them away and said I was 'authorised' to leave a certain amount around the plug (about a cup-full).
She also forbid me from switching my lava lamp* on as she said it was a fire hazaard. But when I left home she used to have it switch on all the time - the cow.
*I was an art college crusty - we all had them OK!
