Originally posted by voodooflux View PostAnother thing I've noticed: trouser waist sizes can no longer be measured in inches, or they are using a new "smaller" inch. I noticed this while shopping for some new trousers at the weekend - my usual size is now a lot tighter. It's probably some new EU directive or something.Comment

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.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Originally posted by voodooflux View PostYes, 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.
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.
