Strict Parents
I 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?

Viz & Porn
When I was going through the latter stages of the worst of the troublesome teens, I naturally enough had my porn stash found. In disgust, my mother tried to turn me to more informative methods of learning about the birds & bees. It was an hilarious book, entitled Boy, Girl, Man, Woman, and it was lame as hell. Never really learned much from it, though my mate Dave once walked all the way back from Sighthill to read it, as he though he might have got his girlfried pregnant. Once however, my parents discovered another stash. Less well hidden, as it was just a crazy comic, even though it did have lots of swearing. Don't think I had issue one, but definitely 2 onwards, and it was only at issue 12 or 13. So, came home from school, and there, in a pile on my bed, torn into shreds was almost a full set of Viz comics. At the time they claimed it was filthy and degenerative, mostly valid points to be honest. Now when I mention it, and how much it would have been worth, they don't recall it. Bastards. Mind you, I wasn't allowed to watch Minder as it was common.
