A prediction or forecast is a statement about the way things will happen in the future, often but not always based on experience or knowledge.

Re: summer staffing
Funnily enough summer lapsing hasn't been mentioned yet - though there is rumour of DOMs and Reps going on a training day to use the new Delivery Forecasting Tool
Which goes something along the lines "Yep it's Summer - we're lapsing".

Probably quicker to count those who don't come in early than those who come in early .. rush around .. no meal breaks .. and then question why the f*ck are we lapsing more duties
