    It looks like Common Sorrel to me Yaz but I've never seen J Knotweed so maybe see if someone with more experience can identify it.

    I'd go with one of the sorrels. 

    I have seen JKW  ... it doesn't look like it to me  :)

    I've seen Japanese knotweed and it doesn't look like that.

    Sorry pansy but it is. The landlord has tried to hide behind other weeds, but it is Japanese Knotweed.

    In the first picture the plant at the back looks like JK to me.

    First pic: Plant in foreground looks like a dock of some kind, out of focus background plant looks like Japanese Knotweed. A better photo is needed though sorry.
    Second pic: Too small to tell sorry but I assume it's the doc plants again. Definitely not knotweed though.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    @yaz1, could you post a load more pics? Pick some pieces and give us some good focus of the leafs (back and front), flower stems and specific overall plant? Thanks

    Hadn't spotted the plant at the back. We need a separate picture of it.
