Hello,
that means you are late; you should give an answer very quickly, it's high time you answered.
see you

Hello.

High time : the time has come when delay is no longer possible.

This expression (it's high time) is often used in this structure in British English, to say that something is urgent.

« It's high time you got ready or you'll miss your train.»
« It's high time you got a job.»
