Idiom/expression for changing the subject in a conversation

"Moving on!" is an idiomatic phrase used (at least here in the US) when a topic gets too touchy or if the conversation bogs down on a particular aspect of the subject and the wish is to keep it moving past that point.


Let's move on to the price of eggs...
