Ah! Right! (My face has gone a little red with embarrassment!) I
shall get some stakes ready.

Thanks, Mary.

You'll find that to compensate for not being a bush, they'll send out lots
of new stems and gradually march along your plot

It wouldn't be so bad if it were just "along". You'll soon find them
*all over the place*!!
My love of raspberries means I am prepared to forgive them for the
amount of pulling of stray stems I have to do throughout the year.

Same here but they do disturb my veggies in their small plots so those have
to go. That is, I pull and pull and cut - but of course they still come up.
Too deep rooted to deal with by any other means than digging and I can't do
that when there's a crop.
