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?

Banned from watching......no, not Grange Hill, like some of my friends were. Not The Young Ones either (cheesy Cliff film OR right-on 80s comedy - both OK). But definitely banned from watching Rentaghost, because it was, apparently, 'An insult to the intelligence.' The mere sight of Timothy Claypole would send Mum into a rage.
This was the simplest ban in history - neither my brother nor I wanted to watch it anyway. But Mum was making her point.
