Problems heading off getting ready for Moscow trip? (7)
I believe the answer is:
roubles
'ready for moscow trip?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'problems heading off' is the wordplay.
'problems' becomes 'troubles' ('trouble' can be a synonym of 'problem').
'heading off' means to remove the first letter.
'troubles' with its initial letter taken off is 'ROUBLES'.
'getting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roubles that I've seen before include "Russian money" , "Russian monetary units" , "Currency" , "Moscow cash" .)
