I think your first paragraph was correct, I have others setting now!

The leaves on one plant have been eaten up to about 4ft from the
ground, but this is close to an untidy rhubarb clump with another broad
leaf plant[1]* adjacent, probably giving the snails a lift!

I have removed snails from bedroom window sills...

I will remember its name when I put down my pen. :-)
I did. Crocosmia. :-)

D'you want some copper, with which to make rings around your plants?

Always looking for an opening, aren'tcha? ;-)

I found the villain this morning, a slug, and the evidence of slime on
leaves almost 5ft of the ground. I tried a different approach, I had
some bran left over from feeding the meal worms which fed the birds, so
I spread some of that round the base of the plant. The slug didn't
seem to be too happy.
