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?

Strict / True to their wordMy mum and my step-dad used to tell me not to be naughty when I was a nipper and issue the following threat: "Don't be naughty or we'll send you away to boarding school with all the other naughty boys and girls".
I always saw this as an empty threat - surely my mummy would never be so cruel. Sure enough, true to their word and strict as fuck my parents send me from London to Bruton in Somerset to a state funded comprehensive boarding school.
Utter Bastards. So to any naughty boys and girls reading this instead of doing your homework - Listen to your parents when they threaten to punish you - because one day they will!
