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?

Never!...eat with your mouth full!
Yeah, a family of 8 does not a sane parent make.
My parents aren't really that strict though - they don't have enough time to regulate their pronouncements and they know it.
EDIT @LINBOB: Heh, sux to be you. We've been allowed alcohol at tea time ever since we were old enough to sit up pretty much. Reminds me of a time when my youngest sister (4ish) had a nip of wine, screwed up her face like she'd eaten a persimmon, and asked for 'more vinegar', since she obviously thought it was the cool thing to drink...
