Bloody hell- I was in a store today and it felt like an alternative universe where M&S think their customers are all thin and super tall but in reality the majority of customers are average or short and more likely to not be skinny as they are a bit older.
I used to be a regular or long in trousers, but they are cut for giants now. What on earth has happened to the sizing? Who is going to buy all this stock!? How can a shop not design clothes for its actual customers.

The height of the average UK woman is steadily increasing. So yes, someone who was a regular leg length in 2010 may well be a short leg length now.
When I was younger, I was unusually tall for a woman. Now I'm still tall, but not as unusually so.
It's like vanity sizing - as average weights go up, the dimensions of a size 10 are going up.

It can’t be consistent as I bought a pair of trousers there today and found the short too short and the regular fitted perfectly. I’m 5’5”, so that would seem about right for average British women’s heights.
