Forsythia
Lancashire,
United Kingdom 
As you can probably see from the picture the forsythia hasn't had anything done to it for 6/7 years and about 3 foot of it is just a thick stem with the flowers and new leaves at the very top, is it worth keeping? if so what shall i do with it?

The first one's a euphorbia (spurge) of some kind, I think - there's bound to be a clever person on here who can put a proper name to it, and yes, the second one's a forsythia. I think you need to prune this after it's finished flowering. I've got 2 forsythia bushes - one in sun and one in part shade, and they seem to cope with either.
Oh! Your comments have just popped up while I've been writing this!

Forsythia isn't a fussy shrub. Mine happens to be in sun, and that is probably best, but apart from deep shade, perhaps, I think it does ok anywhere. My neighbours have them in all different situations and they're fine.

Not entirely sure about first one - someone will know.
The second is a Forsythia for sure. It flowers on the previous year's growth, so only this year's flowering stems should be cut back when it finishes flowering.
