In the UK most recipes tend to give quantities for dry ingredients by weight rather than by volume - traditionally in imperial units, though there is a mixture of imperial and metric in recent publications. So most UK households will probably have kitchen scales. The older ones will be in imperial units only and more recent ones will have dual scales or be switchable between imperial and metric.
