Lesser celandine. The little tubers are almost impossible to get rid of, and it's invasive enough to be considered a serious alien weed species in the States. On the other hand, it's pretty decorative, and if you've got a corner under a hedge or something like that, it might be worth leaving a bit for the extra colour.

Thanks for that Robert.

I believe lesser celandine is an edible spring green... But please check the ID and have a Google around before scoffing the leaves. :)

The young leaves are supposed to be edible, the older are poisonous. 
I wouldn't have thought of it as a weed though, more as a wild flower.

It's definitely a weed if it's all through your garden and you can't get rid of it!

In that case bluebells are weeds in our garden.

Got bluebells too and poppies!!!!! They never stop do they. Look nice till the wind blows them to bits :-\
