Just a workaday lawn would do me fine (is there a workanight lawn too?!)
I think I'll stick with the weed/feed/mosskill approach, but this time I
will stick to the recommended dosage!
There must be something constructive moss can be used for?

Hell, NO!!!

Learn to love your moss. Look, what are the characteristics of a good
lawn plant? It is naturally low-growing (little mowing), drought
resistant, waterlogging resistant, frost resistant, soft underfoot
and has attractive flowers. Well, moss misses out on the last :-)
But daisies don't ....

I use my moss for lining pots, making up compost for carnivorous
plants, and so on. Very useful.

More seriously, you can weed, feed and kill moss, but don't feel you
have to. I remove thistles, plantains and other weeds that annoy me,
but otherwise let them fight it out. I positively LIKE scarlet
pimpernel, vetches, eyebright, daisies etc.

my lawn is pretty bumpy in places, is there an easy fix (for a novice) for
this?
otherwise, yes I will learn to live with it along with the moss, the
stripes, the shade......

Seems reasonable to me. I have, for 25 years :-)

the neighbours caught my brushing out the excess feed from the lawn this
evening. The sight of someone brushing their lawn with a broom! And I've
only just moved here....

Start as you want to continue! That is good, traditional gardening
practice. Seriously.
