meaning of "get on with times" #1 (permalink) Sat Oct 20, 2007 15:06 pm   meaning of "get on with times"
 

Hi,

I'm curious if there is such an expression as get on with times
I want to say something like this:
Quote:
Your conception of the world is outdated. You need to get on with times

Could you tell me if it is a correct way to say what I meant, or, if not, could you post your alternative.

Thanks !

'You need to catch up with the times' is one option.

Hi, MM

Many thanks for your suggestion !

In my own little research I just stumbled upon this one Get with the times !/get with what's going on
They are synonyms for catch up with the times aren't they ?
