UK and Europe 45 deg. diagonal leg downwind to base

Pete.
This has been around for quite a long time (UK) and I found
took some getting used to after a lay off.

I sort of compromised on a "less rectangular" circuit but
no way 45deg. I divert on the 2nd half of the downwind by maybe 15
degrees? any more and the base leg is largely lost and degenerates into
a sort of base/final turn?
