A british imperial pint is 20 british ounces...hence a british imperial
cup is 10 british ounces. After conversion to metric, the british cup was
relegated to 300 ml.

A canadian cup was relegated to 250 ml.

An american Cup is 247 (I believe) ml.

So if you're british for convienence, use a metric measuring cup and if
the recipe is american use a 250 ml cup. (I included the 3 mls, for ease
of measuring).

It's been well over 20 years since britan 'went' metric, so it is time
you 'embraced' the future and got new kitchen measuring equipment.
