I've answered 28 for you ^^^

28 Junket ?

[TheWinner]

Co stands for company
and the ookie sounds like hookey i.e. absent without permission.

[JJ109]

The winner - I understood your answer, but was doubtful that it was correct. Again I am not sure about junket, either, but have given it as an alternative.

[emperor]

Thanks Winner and jj109 for all your thoughts.
I have also been wondering about Picnic, as in company picnic etc. All food for thought but so far lacking that light bulb moment. I really appreciate the effort though.

[emperor]

Thanks to all three. Winner, jj109 and Mamalynne for so much help.
I think that JUNKET has to be the best fit.
I have another query but I'll set that as a new entry to avoid confusion. Best wishes
