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?

GroundingStopping your kids from going out to play with their mates was one hell of a punishment for most people. Except me. At the mere age of 11 I would spend all my free time sat at my ZX Spectrum coding games. So my groundings would basically involve just being banned off the computer! So harsh. I had to go out instead!
One time they tried grounding me to my bedroom. 3 weeks in my bedroom with food brought up to me and only allowed out to the toilet. That didnt last long!
The worst thing my parents ever did was threaten to unplug the comptuer because i wasnt getting my dinner. I was just trying to finsih off that last bit of code. I wasnt allowed to leave it on and got given 5 seconds to turn it off. Sadly it took the old zx spectrums tape player a little longer than 5 seconds to save. In an instant 700 lines of code.. gone. And the game "Metro Cars 3" was never born.:( so so sad ;(
