    It's spelt herbs and it's not a silent h, so why do American's pronounce it 'erbs?

    Herb is a name. 'erb is what you eat. It sounds funny to my American ear that Brits are putting Herbs into their dishes.

    And btw, when a Brit hires a car, how much does the car get paid an hour for its hard work?
