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 strict, but slightly nonsensicalMy mother is lovely, but sometimes somewhat less than logical. I was recently ordained as a minister over the internet. I told her, and the preconcious lapsed catholic part of her brain fired up and got all concerned. "It's ok, everyone else in the office did it too", says I. "Oh, that's fine then", she says, relieved.
And this coming from the woman who freqently says "If so-and-so jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?" Madness.
