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 son, a fellow b3tan,reckons he tells his university friends that his wicked mother tortured him all through his childhood.
'I was allowed to watch Gladiators. Well, I could listen to it through the cellar door' sort of thing.
A few years ago, we noticed a little girl charging round a shop, making a pest of herself, ignored by her nearby mother.
I said, look at her! YOU never behaved like that when YOU were a kid! He replied, no, you'd have smashed a bottle and held it out at face level for me to run into...
Too glib by half.
