Fair enough.
Per Mrs. Beeton (or probably some subsequent editor; I'm using a 1987
edition, as the older copy is too fragile for everyday use):
SPOON AND CUP MEASURES
IMPERIAL----METRIC----AMERICAN
1 tablespoonful--18 ml--1 tablespoon
2 tablespoonfuls--35 ml--3 tablespoons
4 tablespoonfuls--70 ml--6 tablespoons or 1/3 cup
1 dessertspoonful--12 ml--2 teaspoons
1 teaspoonful--6 ml--1 teaspoon
1 teacupful (appr.1/4 pint)--150 ml--2/3 cup or 1/3 pint
1 breakfast-cupful (approx. 1/2 pint)--300 ml--1 1/4 cups or 2/3 pint
