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?

I laid down the law about how my kids could use the 'net,back in the days of dial-up.
'You can use it after 6 at night and at weekends all you like, but no other time!'
They obeyed me. To the letter. A £580 phone bill, every penny of it spent at off peak and weekends, proved it.
Being quite flush in those days, and having no grounds for complaint after they'd followed my rules, I frowned, choked a bit and paid up.
Two of these underage 90s nerds are now b3tans. You know who you are, punks!
