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?

MushroomsNo, not the psycho-active magic variety, just the regular buy-them-from-Tesco edible type. My mum doesn't like mushrooms, therefore we kids didn't get any. Not so much a ban per se, just total mushroom deprivation. It was only when I went to University that I discovered what I'd been missing. Now I love the squidgy little fu...ngi.
I discovered other stuff at University too, but that's a story for another day.
Other than that, I wasn't really prohibited from doing much. But being a boringly well behaved wee kid, I didn't want to do stuff that my parents wouldn't have approved of anyway.
Length? Find out by personal appointment only.
