Or maybe a grab a couple of flags out of your pack and do some semaphore... 
It's not an issue in NZ. You stick out your arm in the direction you want to go. I got my learner licence over a decade ago and there was nothing in the theory about making hand signals; if your car (or trailer) doesn't have functioning indicators, it's not considered roadworthy.
Not really sure what the rules are in the UK, but arm out works just fine.

Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.
