This is the most extremely tall flower spike I know of
Echium pininana - was it anything like that?

The height of yours is taller and the leaves were at the base and the green leaves on yours might of been there but just looked like flower buds but was on a bus so didnt get a good look at it.
This is beyond my ID skills
In the sticks near Peterborough
Could it be a teasel?
Back on the bus, get off at the nearest stop, go and take a photo

So nothing at all like it ...... yes, do as Nutcutlet says ..... get back on the bus

I live on the wirral 6 hours away from minehead, is there anyone who lives near the bus route to butlins minehead
Could it be a mullion, verbascum ?
I'd have thought it would be hard to see 'serrated leaves' on something the size of a mullein from a bus window
