Default Weed / plant identification

.uk...
Right, here goes...it's a wild plant, IE it grows anywhere, although it's
not everywhere!
it resembles dock in size and leaf shape except the leaves are darker
green, almost bluish and hairy and more pointed.
A clump of it would easily be about 14 inches across and high....I don't
want to know for any particular reason, I just keep seeing it and don't
know what it is, googling for hairy leaves gets nowhere


Type of Pulmonaria?

Plantian?

Or the 'false' forget me not _ Brunnera macrophylla (has VERY hairy leaves
and tiny flowers)

?
