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?

Not mebut a friend. He belonged to a strange religious group (aren't they all??!!) and his family didn't have a tv, which set him apart to begin with. Apparently his mum vetted his reading material as well, so Harry Potter etc was a no-no. Also I remember making a copy of a CD for him (Lord of the rings i think, which is mainly classical type stuff) and apparently that got confiscated as well. One particular memorable moment came in a history class in Year 9. I think we had been arguing about something, the end result being him calling me a Dildo. Geuss what, our old toad of a teacher overheard this, much shouting ensues. Still makes me laugh sometimes.
