Going to the Ivy 

Phrase used in the workplace to hide the fact you're having an interview. For example, you turn up to work wearing a suit for an interview and your colleagues obviously know something is up. So you divert the attention with a little misdirection.
"Oi, why you so dressed up today? You never wear a suit and tie, what's going on?"
"Oh, after work me and the Mrs going to the Ivy"
"Oh ok, why you dressed up now though?"
"Won't have time straight after work, going straight there, posh place innit!"

Doing a Genova 

When someone skips out of work early without letting management or their fellow peers know.

Ninjas off!
"Has anyone seen Paul? Haven't seen him since lunch!"

"He's doing a Genova, dipped home after lunch on the sly!"

"Sneaky b******!"
