Hi. Had a close look at this and have been digging up comfrey all day.My Illustrated Book Of Herbs by sarah bunney has loads of accurate drawings and descriptions - comfrey seems the best bet - their are white,cream,purple or pink flowers that pop up on long stems - bees love them much like borage. The leaves have many medicinal healing properties and are anti inflammatory but I wouldn't try crushing them to find out incase it's foxglove - all parts of this plant are dangerous and should not be touched.

I'll go with foxglove.

Be funny if it's neither and turns out to be a cornflower or something else!
it's definitely NOT a foxglove.
It looks remarkably like this one
and yes, I've spotted that buttercup

I looked at foxgloves this morning, very similar, especially the curled round leaves so you can see the backsides.
Also looked at comphrey, the big one, Symphytum officinale doesn't look like that. The other comphreys look even less like that.
But give it another week or so and you'll know for sure
