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?

Strict!My mate who shall remain nameless, has very strict parents indeed. So much in fact that he practically has to lie about his whereabouts whenever he's out.
They forced him to go to university, and when they kicked him out (because he really didn't want to go, he's actually a really smart guy) what did they do? They sent him back again! Twice!
Whenever he comes round my house it's usually because they've sent him out on some soul crushingly dull errand (get them some money from the cash machine, go to Tescos to buy some bread, travel 10 miles bypassing loads of other chicken shops to buy some chicken because this one tastes better... how do they know if they don't try another one? I digress...) and when they check up on him he says something like 'I'm at the check-out now mum' even though he's in my living room with Scuzz quite loud on the telly...
