LONDON -- We've all been there: You've had one too many, and headbutted a fellow punter in the pub.
One pig in London, though, has been doing it so often, she's been barred.
Frances Bacon (kudos to the owners for that one) is a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig who props up the bar of the Conquering Hero in West Norwood.
Normally, she's quite happy snaffling peanuts and unwittingly cannibalising distant cousins in the form of discarded pork scratchings, but sometimes she sups some of the customer's beer and cider and, well, the hairy one gets lairy.
So much so, that landlords Ian and Vicky Taylor-Ross have had to bar her from the bar.

Apparently, the "loveable menace" is an expert at minesweeping, which basically means swooping 'round the bar, picking up discarded drinks and finishing leftover pints.
It gets worse when Frances has managed to sneakily break her vegetarian diet with some stolen snacks.

"She managed to nick a pint or two, and then started butting into people. But we're keeping a closer eye on her now, and that won't happen again," Ian said.
If Frances does get into trouble, though, they'll be on hand to show her the way home.
There's a much more civilised gathering of pigs taking place in May.
