Quite correct. The number of times I remember watching Blue Peter and
various cookery shows in the 80's and 90's, they usually said cook at Gas
Mark 4 for 20 minutes. Were there ever Electric Marks? I know my gran used
to have an electric oven (we have a gas one at home), but it's been almost a
decade since I last saw it and it's now long gone.

Beverages are a mixed picture here.
And here. As I don't drink spirits I've no idea how much a
"measure" mightn be ... I just assume that local Trading Standards
know and check. The pint glasses and half pint glasses have a mark
(I assume those are checked too).
What the heck is a Gas Mark?
It's a number on the knob on an old style oven - the newer ones
are in C (or F or both). On the odd occasion that I cook I find
that the numbers don't really make much difference to the output
... that's one of the reasons I stick to computers :-)
