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?

Sweary wordsI can imagine lots of kids aren't allowed to swear in front of their parents (or, strictly speaking, not at all), but my Mum took this one step further by banning the following words from being uttered:
Knickers (had to say pants instead)
Bum (had to say bottom)
Fart (poop)
Pregnant (expecting a baby)
I think I win.
