I'm sure that the '40' represents a limit (upper/lower?) of some sort..... but looking at the attendees I'm reluctant to commit to a definition! At least it is not raining!

Fraggle Rock at RAF Valley - today - own up if you're there !
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?
