No dispute. I just didn't know the correct name. I'd never heard it
called
Sticky (sorrY) Willie until I saw that on here. I grew up knowing it as
Goose Grass and here in Devon, people seem to call it that and Cleavers.


The latter I can understand as it 'cleaves' to you but the others defeat
me,
charming though they are - kind of!


Both here in Yorkshire, perhaps geese eat it as well as hens ...
