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?

One of those"not me but a friend" tales.
Let's call my friend Dan. He'd been out and bought himself some new clothes after getting a decent bonus at work. Went out on a night, came home, put them in the laundry.
Came home two days later to find his Nan sewing up the rips in his G-Star Raw's. "I don't know what you've been doing in these, you've only had them two days!" When he explained they were meant to be like that she wouldn't let him wear them. Something along the lines of "you're not going out like that!" ... he was 26.
