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?

Bad languageTrue to their middle class origins, my liberal parents didn't particularly raise an eyebrow to me indulging in teenage romantic liaisons, having friends who took hard drugs or me indulging in a lot of underage drinking.
But if a swear word would emerge from my lips I would be shouted at until I ran upstairs to my room in fear. Being busted for class A drug posession would probably have resulted in less parental consternation than me saying 'fuck' in polite company.
That is until I turned 18 and left home. After which I could get away with as much effing and blinding as I liked. (Which wasn't much as I'm a very well brought up boy).
