Training terminated?
On iPM we're asking you for your stories of unemployment - many of you have decided to share what you know about the issue. Our initial post on the topic with well over 30 comments can be found here.
This morning I catch an early train to Bournemouth to explore one consequence of rising unemployment - apprentices made "redundant" before completing their training. Later Eddie will be speaking with the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Skills and Apprenticeships,Lord Young .
Are you an employer or involved in the training of apprentices with experience of this issue? Do you have a question you'd like the minister to answer? Please do get in touch

The answers to that moustache competition were really popular....

Dear iPM
You claim to be 'interactive'. Most of your stories, sadly, attract very little interest.
One story is more popular than all of the others you have suggested in the last month put together:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ipm/2009/01/thought_for_the_day_a_genuinel.shtml
Your editor has already apologised online for the poor manner in which it was covered on the iPM show last week.
Please do the decent thing and dedicate this Saturday's show to covering this issue properly.

Is that man on the level?

I'm extremely disappointed that you didn't do the Thought for the Day issue justice on this week's show, again.
The iPM editor Ruper Allman apologised on your own site this week:
"On the criticism regarding how the issue was treated on the radio - we should have done more to address some of the specific arguments. We didn't and that was a mistake. Sorry."
He also said:
"We have been speaking to the main players in the debate to see if they will engage with the comments made here and on the programme. Calls have been made."
Can we assume the calls were not answered?
You ask for suggestions on how to cover this subject properly. The obvious answer is to ask Mr Damazer to defend his illogical statement, to face some of the questions raised in the blog and to expose Thought for the Day to rational journalistic scrutiny. What is he afraid of?
I can only assume you have been instructed from above to let this lie. I'm not sure I can bring myself to listen to your show any more as its claim to be 'interactive' is clearly bogus and the programme lacks integrity.
