It's hard to understand the following sentence. Could you help me and Clarify it to me, please?
"if you've got people coming through the door and the till's ringing, you're the happiest publican in the world."
"if you've got people coming through the door and the till's ringing, you're the happiest publican in the world."
Top answer
"people coming through the door and the till's ringing" is decribing a pub busy with customers spending money. If a publican (possibly the speaker is actually referring to himself) is in that situation (of having many customers), then he is the happiest publican in the world.
