What type of weather was in the line of cloud.

I suppose they call it a gust front in a thunderstorm situation

It may just have simply been a line of cloud.

Current temperatures about 8C windy, not too unpleasant though, showers at times.

Did that line of cloud move adjacent to you, or over you? sorry about all the questions, but if it moved over you then I have reason to believe it is a gust front.

Yes it moved over, I see alot of these clouds, so they are known as gust fronts??

Indeed, ironically usually produced by troughs rather than fronts. It's where there is an area of dry air in the atmosphere where the trough is moving over, and a moist lower profile, this causes great instability causing a gust front. They are common in a America where they are mostly associated with supercell cumulonimbae
