    You don't take people to lunch to sack them. He wants to persuade you for/of something.

    Maybe he wants to discuss the disproportionate amount of work-time you spend on here... :eek: :p Or is that just me?:D

    If he was going to sack you or discipline you he'd do it by the book in his office so that there could be no chance of recriminations.

    More likely he wants to ask a favour, or possibly even ask you out on a date... Is he single? Are you single? And if so, is he either very good looking or rich? :D

    Please tell us what it is 'cos I'm dying to know now!

    Ooh loopylou - don't be scared. Like other posters have said, it could be a promotion or even special projects on the horizon.... fingers crossed for you and let us all know how you do!:j
    What I'd do is go to lunch, soon as you get in the door ask outright `are you sacking me?' if he says yes order several of the most expensive things on the menu and throw it over his head and if no, still order all the expensive things anyway!:rotfl:
    Good luck lovely!
