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?

The GetawayJust remembered. How strict were my Grandparents? At the age of 17, my Dad went to work one day and when he got back his doorkey wouldn't work. He hammered on the door and a lovely elderly couple he didn't know explained to him that his parents had taken his sister and moved roughly 100 miles south.
Terrifyingly true story.
In case you like happy endings, he had no other option but to stay with his girlfriend and her parents.
That would be my mum.
Awww.
In case you don't like happy endings, after enduring him for more years then I care to remember I'm surprised they took the chancey step of only making it 100 miles away.
