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?

PhoneMy parents were cruel sometimes.
They used to go out and leave sis and me in - not so bad you might say, but we weren't allowed to have the windows open while they were out in case someone knew we were in (WHY?) - Even in the peak of summer....
The phone was an odd one - they didn't like us to use the phone.
My Mum, once, went out and left me and my sister LOCKED IN THE HOUSE with no door or window keys and the phone locked in her jewellery box (long story, don't ask). Then, she called us. I know she did because it was the kind of cruel thing she'd do.
Had there been a fire, we'd've died as the windows were old skool PVC - none of that modern soft shit, but the hardcore fireproof stuff.
Nice.
