Grrr Circuits - ADVICE NEEDED!

I have one leg shorter than the other, and this has always helped immeasurably when flying circuits - until the other day when a change in wind direction resulted in ATCO deciding to change the runway and CCT direction at the same time!
I was then forced to go off on a long nav to find another airfield using a left hand pattern. This predicament forces me to fly so far out of balance, the tail almost arrives at the airfield before me!
Luckily, I had plenty of fuel, but I may not be so lucky next time!
Has anyone else encountered such inconsiderate decision making by ATC?
