It was ridiculous there was nobody on the crossing he was saying it to people patiently waiting on the pavement to cross.
He was cycling about 5-10 meters behind me and there was nobody crossing when I went through and when I heard his stupid siren and then shouting I turned round and there was nobody i could see near him.
Got a feeling if you carry a megaphone on your cycle to work then you are just looking for excuses to use it, I saw him about to turn onto Tooley street and instantly thought he was going to be aggro

Oh I see, that kind of guy. I mean I'm all for cyclist solidarity but that sounds like someone waiting to be punched in the face. Just hearing a megaphone siren like that directly behind me would almost do it, to be honest - I'm pretty sensitive to very sudden loud noises.

I quite often see a guy cycling around with a megaphone in the Oxford Street/Regent Street area. He normally stops outside shops/banks/businesses and starts a one man protest about how corrupt or unethical the particular place is.
Thats my bike/megaphone story.

There is no legal obligation for pedestrians to do so in the UK, right? You're allowed to cross the road wherever and whenever (apart from marked exceptions and motorways), I think the only thing the highway code states you must do is not to 'loiter' on the crossing. Everything else is a strong suggestion at best.
