Is this a bit early for strawberry plants to start flowering ?

Yes, I have a few flowers too, it has been so mild the poor dears are confused. It won't develop into anything... it will succumb to grey rot before it can ripen.

they only seem to be flowering on this years runners so i'm thinking by taking these off, might help make better plants.

Are the strawberries the so-called perpetual variety? My flamenco are still flowering in Glasgow, in fact they have never stopped since June. No fruit though and it is too late now.
However, I picked a handful of "peely wally" florence strawberries today, but they are in pots in a plastic mini shelter.
