Capaea nemoralis, or something similar. Famous for having many,
substrate-related, colour morphs.
Thanks Stuart. I Googled for that name. People actually keep them as pets!
I have always known them as "Banded snails" and unlike the big brown jobs
they seem to live above ground in the foliage of plants and are a right
