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?

VideosMy mum banned me from watching videos with a certificate higher than my age (Apart from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video which was a 15 certificate that I got when I was 12. That was about as scary as a basket of happy puppies). I used to get the piss taken out of me a bit, but now I realise it's probably not such a big deal as I was a big wuss anyway and I probably would have had nightmares.
Actually, at school lunchtimes, me and a few mates used to go to my house and watch videos 'not intended for young eyes' that had been acquired from the brother of one of my mates. But then again my parents didn't know about that. *cough*
