It'll be a yew, taxus buccata, get it out!

also other than your suggestions so far ive been told it could be a lupin just to update the feedback ive had from neighbours, thanks for quick responses

its very slender for a lupin and it doesnt have the typical large seedleaves. not a conifer so ignore my first sugestion.
so at this moment in time I cant help.

seems bamboo could well be right then, i have it in a pot at the moment to try and find what it is lol

No, I'm not right that's definitely not a yew! No idea what it is, but it's good you've got it in a pot in case it turns out to be the equivalent of a triffid...

But it might be a euphorbia of some kind, it's just occurred to me. Have to wait and see.
