SC - European teaspoons

[HICKS, MELISSA]

Just to confuse the issue,  UK and Australian measurements have 4 teaspoons
equaling one Tablespoon, where US measuring sets only have three.

So is the UK/Australian teaspoon smaller than a US teaspoon, or is it the
tablespoons that are out?

Regards
Melissa (from Australia).
