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 parents weren't really strictThey were generally regarded by other people as 'the cool ones', mostly (I suspect) because my mum's fairly laid back and most of my friends were taller than her by the time they were 10.
I had a major argument with mum 2 terms into sixth form along the lines of
'You're not doing any work at that bloody school, you might as well not be there'
'Fine, I'll leave then.'
'Fine, do that'
And I did.
Compare this to the friend of mine who got 7 A*s at GCSE, but when told her parents that she also got two As, was asked 'What went wrong?'
