It's a harvest spider. They're not really spiders either.

Not a photo for artistic merit, but a 'What the hell is it?' shot:

It's a harvestman - more specifically, Dicranopalpus ramosus. A non-indigenous species, it was first spotted in the UK in 1957.

A cross spider which has built a magnificent web across the patio door.
