Sorry to hear about that, at least your OK could of been alot worse. I had a similar incident with in another vehicle, and the insyrance couldn't decide who's fault it was so our own insurance paid for each others damage and we both lost our no claims, even though it was clear the other driver had clearley hit me.

Hope the claim goes OK, you may even end up with a better example If they write it off, so it can only end good really.
Got the T-shirt.

Except the ambulance chaser/pimps were convinced I'd win, until there was the danger of going to court, when they suddenly frapped themselves & bleatingly settled.

Talk about a job creation exercise.

Sorry to hear about this. I just don't understand what goes through some people's minds.

If i've ever found i'm out of place on a roundabout I find it easier just to go round again and re-position myself.

She's in the wrong and she knows it.

It sounds as if the Clio driver was effectively trying to overtake you on the roundabout. Which is strictly forbidden in the Highway Code, so this should be pretty cut and dried, in your favour. I would write down in great detail what happened, with times, weather conditions, measurements and so on to support your claim. And I would probably find out the specific section of the Highway Code to refer to. Witnesses are key, of course, but it sounds as if you are entirely in the right. Good luck!
