FP-4 is very forgiving.
So are the Russian rangefinders.
Look at the bit of paper that came with the FP-4.
It'll tell you roughly what exposure/shutter speed to set without a meter.
Have a go.
Well, that or buy an old Russian meter off EBay for a fiver...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
