I think it's the caterpillar of the Yellow Tail Moth. They eat raspberry leaves, and look quite a bit like that.Comment

It's not a yellow tail - you can't see clearly in my photo but it those four circles are like shaving brush tufts that stick up along its back. I emailed a friend and he said its probably a vapourer or rusty tussock moth as they have shaving brushes.
That's funny, since I often use moth names as passwords because they have weird names, and rusty tussock is one I use, though I've never known what it looked like.
