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 ParentsMy Mum was under the impression that the word 'fart' was a swear word in the same ultra-rude catergory as 'shit', 'fuck' and 'cunt'. So when my brother brought a Puffin book club magazine home from school, and she read a Q&A page with the query 'Is it true that beans make you fart?' she contacted the school. I still recall my parents at the table discussing it, with my Dad saying 'Well, I've read through the rest of the magazine and there's nothing else as rude in there...'
