Pub regular is ‘neigh’ bother!
Pub regular is ‘neigh’ bother!
#This from the Advertiser.
A North-East pub has become the favourite haunt of a beer-drinking, crisp eating
horse. Peggy, a 12-year-old cart horse, likes nothing better than a drop of bitter and some pickled onion crisps when she pops into the Alexandra Hotel in Jarrow near Newcastle.
Jackie Gray, who recently took over the Alexandra said Peggy was a shock the first
time she saw it but she is now a regular customer.
"She's no bother when she's in," Gray told Sky News.
Peter Dolan, Peggy's owner, used to tie her up outside but one day Peggy, on a rope
that was too long, followed him into the bar and he quickly learned that the horse
had a taste for bitter.
"Peggy's no bother at all," he said.
"Most of the regulars know her as she's been coming in here for years and for them
Peggy's a bit of a novelty.
