What exactly does that saying mean, I have never really known.

   The Lord Mayor of London shouldn't be confused with Ken Livingston's job, its a ceremomnial position to do with the commercial City....and as such when a new one gets in place, they have a big poarade of old style coaches, drawn by horses.

  Ther horses dump a load of shit everywhere as they pass....so its the shit after the Lord mayor's show.   Pointing out the contrast between the fine costumes and  other decorations.....and a load of shit left after its over.

Lo and behold you are the first to answer. Fanx innit.

I thought the phrase was

"After the Lord Mayor's show, comes the dustcart"    Still means the same as what the Reg Britannica said though
