Measuring in cups

Does anyone know if this can be changed to a more user friendly UK measure please?

For example, I had some blueberries today and have no idea what a cup of them would weigh!

What do you ladies do?

I found it easier just to start using a cup to measure things out!

If I remember rightly from when an ex had a 'cup' in his kitchen, one cup is roughly a third of an average sized mug. Or a dainty teacup. Or generous handful.

A cup is about 8 fluid ozs so you can use a measuring jug and measure up to 8oz for 1 cup, 4 oz for half etc

You can buy cheap sets of cup measurements in poundland/wilko etc. Really useful. I use them to scoop out portions of pasta/bolognaise etc

A cup is around 225g if that helps

Blueberries, or are you saying generally? There isn't a set weight to cup conversion because different things weigh different amounts for the same volume. A cup is a measure of volume. So like, a cup of rocket weighs less than a cup of rice.

OP I got a cheap set of cup measures off Amazon ages ago and they have been well worth the investment.
