Conversion help needed please

People helped me out here with the conversion with cups = pounds and ounces

I have found a lovely looking breakfast recipe and would like another conversion please if possible.
It says to use 1 cup of milk what does 1 cup equal as in fl oz or litres please or is it a full standard mug size please

Thank you

That site will help you with dry ingredients, since you weigh and we measure.

For liquids:

1 cup = 8 fl. ounces
1 pint = 16 fl. ounces
1 quart = 32 fl. ounces
1 gallon = 128 fl. ounces

I only know that
1 pint = 600mls of liquid, but also
1 cup = 250 mls
4 cups =1 litre

I also know that our cups are a bigger size than the US ones and so is 1 tablespoon.

Kathy, those sites have both the US & English measurements. I have seen alot of recipes that calls for mls or litres & wasn't sure how that measured in US measurements, so that is a help to get the measurements right.

madmum, do you have trouble getting an American measuring cup and spoon? I didn't realize until Kathy mentioned it, that they are different.
