Mum, 35, refused Newcastle Brown Ale in Aldi after staff thought she was her kids' friend

A mum-of-three says she was banned from Aldi after she was told she couldn't buy alcohol for her husband while she was shopping with her daughters.

Salon owner Kelly Marsh, 35, visited the store in Buckshaw Village in Lancashire to do a routine shop but was left in shock when when a cashier told her she couldn’t buy bottles of lager and Newcastle Brown Ale - unless her children also showed ID, LancsLive has reported.

Kelly told LancsLive that staff initially believed she was actually a friend of her children Courtney, 17, and Bethany, 15, rather than their mum.
