Yep.
My mood also wasn't helped by a fellow cyclist coming past shortly after saying "you wont try that again will you". I wanted to catch up and explain, tell him i'd cover it all off on an internet forum and that I'm a careful cyclist who understands risk/reward as an experienced year round commuter, but my legs were too wobbly.

Personally I think it's far more likely that the lorry saw an empty (minus you obviously) junction and just thought fuck it and went through, than it was a breakdown in the lights and timings at that junction.
Otherwise you'd have to get off your bike and wait at the junction for no right turning traffic (when will that happen at commuting times?) to see if it doesn't trigger. Whereas if you are always there trying to turn right my guess is that it will trigger and you'll corrupt your own experiment.
