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?

Orange juice is my viceFrom the age of 10 I was banned from drinking more than half a glass of orange juice a day. I have absolutely no idea what made mum do this, but I suspect it was some loopy diet fad. Cue many years of sneaking in cartons of JustJuice from the corner shop, and creeping into my sister's room at night to take forbidden sips of that gorgeous orange loveliness. Needless to say I drink gallons of the stuff now. Hmm, maybe it was all a ploy to stop me getting rickets...?
