A DODGY dart throw that burst a radiator led to a woman being BARRED from her local.

Pub regular Lorna McGrath (25) caused damage worth £175 accidentally after "messing about" in a late-night game of arrows with staff at the Elizabethan, Halbeath Road, Dunfermline.

Despite offering to stump up for the damage, the Townhill travel agent has been told she is not allowed back.

Furious Lorna, of Main Street, started playing darts as she waited for her flatmate to finish her shift last month.

An emergency plumber had to be called out at 3.30am when her long-range dart throw pierced a heater underneath the board.

She said, "It's a stupid place to have a dartboard.

"I've held up my hands and said I wasn't playing properly and was messing about but it was a complete accident.

"They've completely disregarded the fact that I have offered to pay for it and have never got back to me." Lorna found out she was barred after a message was relayed to her from co-managers Sam Cutmore and Allan McIntyre.

Lorna worked as a part-time barmaid at the Elizabethan from 2007 to 2009 and insisted she still helped out on an ad-hoc voluntary basis, including helping clearing up at night and collecting glasses.

"Every single person I have spoken to thinks this is absolutely ridiculous," she said.

"The regional manager said it was my disrespect towards the pub that got me barred but I could not respect that pub more.

"But it's safe to say I will not be entering any tournaments," added Lorna.

Mr McIntyre, pub co-manager, confirmed yesterday (Wednesday) that Lorna had been barred over the incident but refused to comment further.
