UK (Imperial) Measurements
Weight is measured in pounds and ounces (16oz = 1lb = 0.4545Kg)
Volume is measured in pints and fluid ounces (20fl.oz = 1pt = 568ml)
1 cup is usually one half pint (sometimes a third of a pint)
1 pint is 568ml (the US pint is 473ml)
1 fluid ounce is 1/20th of a UK pint (28.4 ml)
The UK now uses the metric system for retail sales, so many recipes now include
a mixture of metric and imperial.
