Many thanks, I think you are correct on Fat Hen ( Never heard of it before ) mind you some articles on line suggest you can harvest it? think I will just throw on my compost heap.

Fat hen gets my vote too - it's a weed!

a few leaves of it in a salad do add a peppery bite. my mum used to use it in salads back in the 60's when we were particularly skint. in fact we did a lot of hedgerow harvesting back then. when needs must and it wasnt trendy.
