Signals and position.
When taking the first exit to the left, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise
* signal left and approach in the left-hand lane
* keep to the left on the roundabout and continue signalling left to leave
When taking an exit to the right or going full circle, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise
* signal right and approach in the right-hand lane
* keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change lanes to exit the roundabout
* signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want
When taking any intermediate exit, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise
* select the appropriate lane on approach to the roundabout
* you should not normally need to signal on approach
* stay in this lane until you need to alter course to exit the roundabout
* signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want
Spot on!

If people were using their indicators on roundabouts nowadays none of it would happen, it's a pet hate of mine. If you were sat at the junction
with your right indicator on they would probably not expect you to be going left.
As for " People in the left hand lane should also give way to traffic merging from the right hand lane too" if you are in the correct lane
and indicating your intention it's up to them to "merge" not up to you to give way.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I agree that you are correct to go straight on from the left lane (or the right for that matter), but if you are having repeated problems, I'd
be tempted to go straight on from the right lane and if it looks like there is going to be any problem with someone trying to undertake you and cut
you up from the left, just go right round the roundabout and try again.
