Strict Parents
I 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?

when I got a B- in *one* subject - my lowest grade
my parents got me a weekend tutor!
They said they were 'sick of my nonsense', and they'd looked around for a tutor who wouldn't put up with said 'nonsense'.
Apparently she was very strict, believed in self-discipline blah blah blah...
Strangly enough, after a while I quite looked forward to going.
In hindsight, my parents may have taken certain phrases in the ad overly literally.
