What the flip does Mike say at the end of the show???
I can't make out what Mike says at the end of the show.
Is it 'sell up', 'sell on', or 'tella', 'tata'? or something else.

One of the episodes I saw he said "Ta Ta," as in goodbye.
shareIt's "Ta-La". (I watch with the closed-captioning turned on.)
shareThat means little, sadly. Close-captioning is often full of errors. I happened to watch a news report the other day on a monitor with CC running. The reporter, according to CC, said that "the ignition slick can fall off and the air flags wouldn't deploy."
shareI've found the captioning on WD to be quite accurate compared to the vast majority of shows. None of the annoying glitches that plague captions in many films and TV programs. Mike's farewell sounds and reads the same in every episode, but I've never heard anyone else use that particular expression.
shareIts ta ra, its a very often heard phrase in Britain.
shareI've always hear the english phrase ta-ta. No idea about ta-ra... Is that a muslim translation? Doesn't sound british at all.
shareAs a native Mancunian I can assure you that ta-ra is perfectly British and well used. Well done on jumping straight to "muslim" though - neither a sensible or educated choice, nor is it actually a language. You're thinking of Farsi, Kurdish, Urdu or one of the many other languages a religion not bound to a single local community would likely speak.
shareAmericans are mostly ignorant of anything not American.
shareTa-ra Is north and ta-ta is south I think, we say ta-ra in Yorkshire and I think Lancashire do too
shareGuys, guys, guys... It's clearly Ta-la which is a saying for departure. It's used in Canada and used to be quite common.
shareYep. It's ta-la, which is just the same as ta-ta and ta-ra, but with a bit of a London slant. All mean good-bye.
Ta-la!
I'm always astonished by the end of the show by all that work Ed seems to do for free....haha. Does he live in that garage? Or the VW Camper mike sold him?
Ta-la!
Mistake your silence for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
