Mr. Gunn-Fowlic blamed the increase in unemployed on the warm weather. "The mads are starting to gel bad," he said. "It |' looks as if we mi^ht have an early break-up."
He replied I hat "UiiiiKK will gel worse before they t,ret better. And if we have rain we'll be in bad shape as the roads won't be able to dry out."
