Looks like sow thistle.

I agree.

Thanks to both of you guys for your reply.

Is this plant of any use at all as there are already quite a few of them growing or is it just another weed, It looks nice though. Thanks

if the ID is correct .... sow thistle is a highly problematic weed .... if left to seed ...

it seems all the craze right now.. to want to call all weeds edibles ...

as far as i am concerned.. weeds are weeds... get rid of them ...

i have no clue if this is edible ... and i wouldnt leave it in my garden bed to find out...
