I had got used to the lack of a 'u' in a lot of words.....but when it comes to 'rouble', guess which vowel is dropped?

Pub opening hours in the past – e.g. 10–3 and 5.30–10.30 on weekdays – provide a real pitfall for unwary American writers setting stories in the UK but nothing compares with Dan Brown's re-siting of the American embassy in Paris in the egregious Da Vinci Code.
