A 12-year-old mare named Peggy has been barred from her local pub.

 

The horse, who has a taste for John Smith's bitter and pickled onion crisps, has been banned from O'Malley's in Jarrow, South Tyneside because landlady Jackie Gray doesn't want her ruining the new carpet.

 

"Although she is probably cleaner than some of my customers, I had to put my foot down and show her the door," said Gray.

 

Peter Dolan, the horse's owner, added: "People come into the pub and the first thing they say is 'Where's Peggy?' I tell them she's kicked the habit and is teetotal now.

 

"No-one even took any notice of her. Everyone just saw her as one of the locals."

Not the first time this has happened. Camilla was banned from the "Prince of Wales" some years back................................. :rolleyes:
