From Wikipedia

1 breakfast cup  = 8  British imperial fluid ounces
=    ⁠4/5 tumbler
=    1 1/3 cups
=    1⁠ 3/5 teacups
=    3⁠ 1/5 coffee cups
=    4  wine glasses
=    ⁠2/5 British imperial pint
≈    7.69    US customary fluid ounces
≈    0.96    US customary cup
≈    227.3    millilitres
≈    0.91    metric cup

The mind boggles. I actually had no idea what the markings on our kettle actually meant; now I know 

Hahaha! Just checked our very British kettle - and it is calibrated in metric units up to a maximum of 1.7 litres.

So so much for the British Imperial fluid ounce red herring.
