The leaves are about 2 or 3 cm in diameter and the clumps of the weed can get u to 10 or 15cm wide.

Mmm. Thanks for the clue re Buttercups. I think that might be it, as they do have yellow flowers.

not buttercup. leaves aren't the right shade of green and don't have enough indentations on them. As a dairy farmer I know butter cup and wish I didn't lol

I am fairly certain it is one of the geranium family certainly none of the others. Try google lawn geranium

Nut weed by the look of it. Spreads very easily. If you pull it out, put it in the rubbish bin to go to the tip. Edit to add not nut grass which is a different kettle of fish!

Yes, that is the correct name for it.

If you crush a leaf and smell it and it smells a bit 'minty' it's probably ground ivy (aka lawn geranium - it's the same thing). Or it It could be a hydrocotyle - lawn pennywort?

Thanks for all the suggestions.
You have given me a couple of clues.
I need to check some of them out.
I may post a better photo in a day or so when it stops raining. It does have a very unusual stem - node system above the ground. Not sure what they are called. It does not have a flower at the moment, but some leaves go yellow and look like flowers.

It's not Hydrocotyle either
