Re flour, 1 US cup = 95 grams, according to one cookery website's conversion table.
I'm aware, of course, that cups come in all shapes and sizes, but if you think of the 'normal' British teacup - such as your Mum probably gave the vicar his tea in! - that works quite well as a measuring device. Weigh a British teacup on your kitchen scales, then fill it with flour and take a new reading. I'd imagine the difference will not be too far off 95 grams. Give it a try.

Many thanks for your quick and helpful reply.
Big Tescos and Ikea sell american measuring cups all on a tag thing. Only cheap, cost about �1.50

Thanks for that.
I have a book that uses cups and converts one cup of flour at over 200g - not 95g. You can get cups really cheaply from cooking shop. (That's where I got mine - 1cup, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 - and they only cost me �3!)
