But not the UK.  It may indeed be different everywhere else, I have no 
experience of it.  But in the UK, anyhow amongst the general population, gill 
has various meanings around the country.  Exactly as Wiktionary says.

And I do not know what a food college is.  I could guess. 

And I shan't reply again.  I know that in this specific case, I am right.  And 
I am therefore not interested in your assertion that the rest of the world 
has a fixed, metric definition of gill.  I do not live in the rest of the 
world.
