Merge In Turn, why does no one do it properly!

Apart from the part I made bold, I would have done exactly as you did.

Leftmost lane, unless you can't.

In the case of lane reduction though, it's wrong, and we should try to force ourselves to use both, but human nature is a peculiar thing! Traffic would flow better and more cars would get through the bottleneck in a given time, but we Brits just aren't wired like that!

This is true, but it was a while ago, so I can't actually remember how long I stayed in the left lane before moving to the middle expecting the merge (which never came). The left lane may have actually been been X'd. I can't quite remember.
