I've never heard of this phenomenon and I'm surprised and appalled by it. Is it even legal? Maybe it's worth asking for them to be reinstated anyway. It's especially surprising in these lean times (particularly if pubs have been hit by the smoking ban as well). I can't believe many if any other regulars were seriously going to stop going to that pub just because of the two people in question.
