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?

Phones're great for torturing kids with.When my youngest was about 14 or so, I caught her using her mobile to deceive me. I confiscated it and locked it in a box. I then gave her the box, promising to unlock it in the morning.
Which I did, after ringing it about 150 times in the night. Next day, she was cataleptic with anxiety about all the extremely important calls she'd missed.
She may have lied to me again since then, I'm not sure, but at least she's been cleverer about it.
