Yet an hour ago, there were plenty vacancies. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |

mild for most, quite a breezy night, blustery across many north-western | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
parts around this area of low pressure, touching near gale force | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
through the Irish Sea. Heavy rain moving out of Northern Ireland | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
N-word into a good part of northern Scotland. -- onwards. In clear | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
spells, temperatures no lower than 13 or 14 degrees. Not a great start | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
