Name a Midland Metro tram after Jeff Lynne
The latest Midland Metro trams are great but lack one thing - personality.
While two have names so far wouldn't it be great if more could too?
Where better to start than with one of Birmingham's greatest talents - Jeff Lynne, co-founder of ELO, musical genius and all round nice bloke?
Why is this important?
I won't pretend that this will change the world or that it is anywhere near as worthy a cause as a great many.
It will however brighten sometimes rainy Midlands days, put a smile on people's faces and would be a nice way to say 'thank you' to Jeff for such great music and all he's achieved over the years.
It's a big birthday for Jeff this year, too, and what better gift to give!
