Not much when I was small, apart from always letting them know where I was going, who with, and when will I be back. But the big rule when I got older was dont go out with squaddies. Dad being sargent major ect, ect, ect. Lol. What the eye dosnt see......hehehehe. |

I was not allowed on the pin ball machines in the penny arcades - the sins of gambling. |

I wasn't allowed to go out with wet hair - think it was thought I'd catch a cold, flu or worse! |

We had two ice cream vans that toured the area. 'Tonibell' was one and the other a 'Walls' van. Small children, as they do, want icecreams so it was ''Mum.....can we have an ice-cream'' Reply ''When the Walls van comes...'' And we got one when he came, so it wasn't a cost thing - maybe she thought 'Tonibell' were less wholesome or something! Jess |

...that seem laughable now? I'm sure there were loads of daft little things that possibly made sense at the time, although the only one I can think of right now was that I wasn't allowed to watch 'Grange Hill' for some time. I think it was thought that by watching Grange Hill it might have turned me into a truancy playing juvenile delinquent with aspirations of petty crime and casual drug taking. So that was forbidden lol. Any one got any others? |
