it's quarter of a gallon tom which is 2 pints

4pints is 2.27litres from milk bottles

so 2pints is about 1.14liters. I expect lots of rounding errors in this but it gives you an idea

thanks guys.. there are apparently (according to joes link) 6 different quarts..
a german one an ancient hebrew one a UK one a US wet and a US dry one..?

As an aside, google is useful for this kind of conversion.

Try typing:

1 uk gallon in us pints

or

200 metres in furlongs

as search terms, and see what you get

And not to forget, our over the pond cousins do not use real gallons and pints etc :

1 quarts (US, liquid) is equal to 1.67 pints (British)
