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 was grounded many timesMainly for being arsey about things.
All rules in our house only applied to me anyway and not my brothers. If they did something wrong then the rule was ignored.
The only rule that my parents still insist on is telling them where you're going when you go out. They didn't mind where as long as I told them (going to the pub at 16 was ok).
I used this greatly against my youngest brother, who had left the house in a tip and not done any chores he'd been given etc. then fucked off someone without telling anyone. He got a bit of a bollocking even though he was 16 but more importantly it was 1-0 to me that week.
