It's a long time since I read the highway code, but I thought the pedestrian had right of way, even in the road. Having said that, there are a few drivers who assume cars have the right of way even on pavements.
Actually, one thing that does annoy me. If you are on a rush hour train from London (these are usually packed) and a cyclist gets on, complete with bike and proceeds to take up a large chunk of the carriage. It is so tempting to ask them to ride the bike home instead of taking up the space of three passengers on the train.
