What were you not allowed to do as a child because it 'wasn't nice'?

No eating in the street or on public transport. Not to go to school without a hat. On the other hand we were allowed to go out for the day and play in the local stream, completely unsupervised, from the age of 5!

My mum and dad must have been pretty easy. No not allowed's that I can think of.

chewbacca Oh my goodness, I had several pairs of red shoes when in my teens and twenties!
My mother wouldn't let me speak in the local Black Country dialect but the accent was all right.

Not allowed to play with certain people.Even at 17 my mother wouldn't let me go into a flat with a friend because of what she knew of her father. I was too late to get another flatshare and had a lonely bedsit instead.

Well, it wouldn't have mattered, because we weren't allowed to "cock our legs about" or roll on the floor, either, so nobody would have seen them.

I wasn’t allowed to wear jeans. I did buy some when I got a Saturday job but tried not to wear them near home as it always caused problems!

No navy blue knickers MissA? You should have let me know, I'd have given you some of mine. I was made to wear them for almost the whole of my childhood.

Allowed to watch TV, if we had been to the cinema, in the afternoon.

I wasn't allowed to wear long wellies, because they didn't look nice on my spindly legs.

Also, I wasn't allowed to wear navy blue knickers.

Not allowed to wear red shoes. Apparently, only "prossies" wear red shoes.

MissA ?

Eat in the street/ on public transport either in or out of school uniform
Pointing at anything ( buildings just as much as people...bizarrely)
Being too loud ( noisy conversation.....somebody might look!)
When in cafes/buses etc.
Eat every morsel on the plate/ scrape the plate ( a mouthful had to be left for Miss Manners.)

Eat in the street.
Go to the cinema on a Sunday.

We were most definitely not allowed to say "Liar".
We only told fibs in our house.

I wasn’t allowed to
have my ears pierced

I wasn't allowed to meet anyone if it was near a certain pub (as a teen) because that wasn't nice, even though it was at a crossroads, right in the middle of all 4 roads.

Whisper. Lunacy I know, but my mum had a real thing about it.

Drop my 'aitches - the maternal wrath would descend.

Listen to 78 of Jake Thackeray!

Eat in the street - especially if in school uniform.
