      Off out for a jog. Started new gig today after a short permie experiment and realised trousers have shrunk since last contract

      Couldn't be me that's changed shape/size
      You probably have got taller

        I have experience similar instances - and I now have a selection of 32" (Standard Issue jeans/trousers) and the new 34" EU directive jeans/trousers.

            Yes, that must be it then. Alas I seem to have acquired a couple of pairs of 36" EU directive trousers. Obviously I went for the looser, more comfortable fitting so as not to agravate my hernia any further.

              It's not you. I'm having the same problem.

              But why that had to apply it retrospectively to trousers I already own, I don't know. That's just bureaucracy gone mad. Bloody Euro-madness I call it. Hell in a handcart, etc.

                Are the 36'ers tight ?

                I bought a pair of 3/4 shorts for holiday and the 34/32 were TOO big. I bought a 30" and they fitted just nice.

                Must have been labeled wrong

                  You're right. More retrospective legislation - first BN66 and now this. I plan to raise this with my local UKIP representative.

                    Very comforable, with plentty of room for manoeuvre and tackle adjustment.
