thanks for the advice guys, i have told my boss - that i have warned him twice already - 3rd time he aint gonna be so lucky. management does know about this, i have mentioned it to them, just in case this happens again - i have record of all accounts.... i also heard from my boss, that the previous lady laid a charge against him, but nothing came of it. as he apologised to her. then i told my boss, the next time round his apologies wont mean a damned thing!!! on a daily basis, my boss would ask me about his behaviour and would say the same thing!!! still childish....
