British slang for leaving or heading off, used casually when wrapping up a visit or letting someone know you're about to go. It carries a light, informal tone — not rushed or rude, just an easy way to signal departure. You might hear it in a pub when the night is winding down or from a friend who has another commitment. Functionally equivalent to 'push off,' 'head out,' or 'make a move,' and widely understood across the UK.
Right, it's getting late — I'd better push along before the last train goes.
