Smile Weed Identification, what is it and how do I kill it?

Hi All,

This is my first post/ visit to your site. I would be very grateful for any help or advice you could give me.

We have a very difficult to shift weed in our garden. It has long redish root, which is long and narrow that simply snap when you try to remove it. They seem to travel straight down rather than outwards. It has taken over our lawn.
I have not been able to find reference to it in any of the books I have looked at or on any of the web sites I have seen.

I have posted the following links hoping someone could advise me as to what it is.

I have tried to get rid of it using chemicals, burners and digging them out. The weed doesnt seem to flower, but it does travel everywhere. For clarification, I am UK based in Milton Keynes.

Any advise or help is really appreciated.

Thanks all.

Love the site by the way
