What’s up @MrMow? What’s upset you? I thought we were all getting along famously now, and that the initial confusion had been put to bed. Certainly you’ve been the ‘go to’ specialist quite a few of us have referred to with lawn/turf queries.
Not everyone wants or is prepared to put in the time needed to produce and maintain a fine lawn .., just as we don’t all grow roses either, and many folk don’t share my enthusiasm for home grown veg. However when there are queries about roses the rose specialists rise to the occasion, and just recently you’ve been doing that for lawns.
All sorts of gardens and gardeners are here as part of our gardeners’ world. 😊
It is the nature of this forum that folk pop in and out with queries … some more often than others .., some appear only occasionally or even just the once. Some even post a query here and never appear again … maybe they’ve found the answer elsewhere .., or maybe they’ve been struck by lightning or run over by a London double decker bus… we’ll probably never know. There’s no point in taking these things personally and feeling your efforts have been rejected. Whatever you’ve posted remains for future folk searching for an answer to their query.

Just a thought @MrMow … it seems a shame that you have opted to keep your profile Private … it means that members cannot click on your name to look up your previous posts and see what advice you’ve given for similar queries in the past 😞

@tom-manners Yorkshire fog and Rye or Holcus lanatus. Guess when you mow this patch looks different? It is a wild grass so can you live with it or do you want to remove it ?
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

I asked my OH yesterday @tom-manners, apparently with Yorkshire Fog you can slash the patch with a knife which damages the creeping stems, but really the best way is to dig out the offending section and re seed or turf. Hope this helps
There are all sorts of grasses growing in my garden, but the Yorkshire fog prefers to grow on those parts that are not regularly mown, it doesn't like being cut back or footfall. Make life a bit more uncomfortable for it and you should win
