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?

my old manmy old man had some wierd rules... for some reason as a kid he would never let me watch "Why Don't You" on TV, saying it was a load of bollocks (which admitedly it was, but I never noticed at the time).
Secondly, he would never buy Coke or other canned drinks, we had to make all our pop with a Soda Stream.
Thirdly, he hated the concept of junk food; I didn't eat a McDonalds until I was about 12.
When I became 18, I thought my troubles would be over, but he sat me down and told me that now I was old enough to vote if I ever voted Conservative he'd disown me.
But he let me drink beer since I was about 14 years old and didn't even get annoyed when I got a night in the cells for possession of weed.
