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?

And anotherWhen my parents went out for the evening, my auntie would be left to babysit me and my sister. My dad always said that the "Magic Eye" would be watching, and he'd know what we'd been up to. I remember looking all round the house for the magic eye, even suspecting he'd switched on the cassette recorder.
I must have been incredibly gullible not to realise my auntie was actually a sentient being capable of relaying information about child-badness to my parents.
All brains and no common sense, as my mum always describes me.
