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?

The ITV thing!My kids had mates who were not allowed to watch ITV. At my place, of course, they could watch whatever they wanted, as long as everyone agreed. I have a lovely unposed photo of the 4 of them, aged 5-7, lying on the lounge floor glued to the telly, watching some vulgar American cartoon.
Another family didn't have a TV at all, and their kids used to watch ours with great enjoyment.
I'm sure both sets of parents would have liked to impose their rules on me but I was far too scary.
I gave them cheap fish fingers and tinned spaghetti too. I was the Antichrist.
