I've looked in Michael Chinery's 'Insects of Britain and Western Europe'
The nearest I found are, Dark Spinach and Common Clothes ( which i've seen about all my life, but never put an id to)
Thanks

1 Yellow Shell
2 A Crambid moth. One of the Crambus or Agriphila species, but it is quite worn. Check through the UKMoths website see which one you think.

I doubt if you will confirm the Crambid butt if I were to give an educated guess I would go for Agriphila Straminella
