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.

My wife watches QVC all the time. I avoid the living room when it's on. 

Kind of like what she does if a car show is on. Which isn't very often.

Good news is she never buys anything.

The official photographer for the president of Poland has a run-in with Larry the cat.

That is a small cat - our moggie is a chunky but lean 7kg (15.5lb). If that photographer has tripped over our cat he would have been flat on his face.
