Wrong couch grass
The weed is Elymus repens

Doesn't make it any easier to get rid of but sounds so much more
exotic.

I must wear Couch shorts to do the weeding.

I don't know.
On "The weakest link " the other day the question was
Name a type of shorts named after a Caribbean island
The answer given was "Hot Pants"
One of the lost islands of the Caribbean?

Oh I wish I'd seen that!

The common UK grass/weed known to UK gardeners as couch grass is
Elymus repens.

It's not Cynodon dactylon/bermuda grass.
