Thanks- I think it may have been in some wildflower seeds that I sowed last year. The line between wildflowers and weeds is thin! Will dig it lout tomorrow!

Yes, as half acre has said, it’s ribwort, otherwise know as narrow leaves plantain.
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
