According to the following link, I was wrong about the Oz cup size. Hmmm.

a cup is 8 fl oz - (half a us pint). a uk pint is 20 fl oz - the us version is only 16.

Re: Things you should do before you emigrate ?
Prior to our move to the US last year, I spoke to the nurse at our dr's surgery about the hep b vaccine for my son and she advised us to wait until we got to the US as we didn't have enough time to complete the course of 3 before we left.
She said that in some places, it's advised that the whole course is from the same vaccine manufacturer - maybe if we had started the course, we wouldn't have been able to continue, but would have had to start from scratch?

Re: Things you should do before you emigrate ?
...I'm moving to Orlando, Florida, USA in a couple of months from the UK. I'm organising and planning the move and want to make sure i'm not missing anything off my list of 'tasks to complete in the UK before I leave'.
Just wondering about those people who have already done an international move...is there anything you wish you'd done BEFORE you left the UK that you wish you had ?
Just for example..somebody who had moved abroad said he'd wished he'd applied for his International Driving Licence while he was still in the UK. Another said they'd wished they'd done more shopping for clothes in the UK because US fashion is so different...
So do you have a list of things that one shouldn't forget to do before leaving the UK ?

If you are single, and have a GC the worlds your oyster.

Same goes for the sausages. I never even liked sausages all that much until I moved here, never bought them, never wanted them, couldn't care less. Now... I'm pretty much salivating at the thought of a proper pork sausage, ANY proper pork sausage, even the crappy ones from the corner shop or the Esso station, with lots of HP and... uhhh, actually I AM salivating.

Unfortunately this was no help - three different numbers I tried were not for the organisation I was attempting to contact.
