Fill a one litre bottle five times, pouring it into your cowboy hat and then just calculate the remaining volume.
Simples.
What's a litre?

Now come on Al. Let's return to the really important matters of the day.
WHAT SORT OF BISCUITS WERE THE CHOICE DE JOUR?
A nation (and Devon Lies) await this world-shattering exclusive.
Its a fair question.

Despite Brexit We can still get these Belgian delights.

Other biscuits available of course.

Management procures these but I think you may be right.

A client who would normally get his biscuits from Fortnum & Mason thought they were great. I was secretly advised later that they "are not at all expensive"

P.S. The pic was a possible EACQ question but failed to make the cut.

One smallish size (modern plastic) milk container - almost certainly available at a supermarket near you.
Just read the label - it will say 1 ltr (or something similarl)
Then just rinse, fill and repeat as necessary.

Unfortunately like most of the rest of world archery the Spanish use metric equipment (which means that their arrows, being approx 10% longer) would have beaten their imperial equivalent to the mark.
PS: BELGIAN biscuits??? Surely you should be joining the march of the patriotic UK makers and compensating for the dramatic fall in food exports by sticking to tried and trusted McVities?

In another biscuit related bit of news I hear that, in retaliation for Ms Sturgeon's travel ban Mr Burnham is considering a ban on imports of Tunnocks Tea Cakes and Irn Bru to the Greater Manchester area.
That'll teach those Caledonian ingrates
