Steve. Perrenial Sow-thistle is usually a much larger plant, (than Rough Hawkbit), up to 1m. with yellowish hairs.

The plants in the garden growing as weeds are on the small side i thought they may be rough hawksbeard but they have milky sap so they must be perenial sow thistle.

thanks for all your help all the best steve
