Britain’s Pre-War Glow Problem <br><br>On paper it reads like satire: on the eve of the Second World War, the House of Commons was debating glowing shopfronts. <br><br>Mr. Gallacher, an MP with a sharp tongue, rose to challenge the government. Were neon installations scrambling the airwaves? <br><br>The answer was astonishing for the time: around a thousand complaints in 1938 alone. <br><br>Picture it: ordinary families huddled around a crackling set, desperate for dance music or speeches from the King, only to hear static and buzzing from the local cinema’s neon sign. <br><br>Major Tryon confessed the problem was real. The snag was this: there was no law compelling interference suppression. <br><br>He spoke of a possible new Wireless Telegraphy Bill, but stressed that the problem was "complex". <br><br>Translation? Parliament was stalling. <br><br>Gallacher pressed harder. People were paying licence fees, he argued, and they deserved a clear signal. <br><br>Mr. Poole piled in too. What about the Central Electricity Board and their high-tension cables? <br><br>The Postmaster-General ducked the blow, basically admitting the whole electrical age was interfering with itself. <br><br>--- <br><br>From today’s vantage, it feels rich with irony. Back then, neon was the tech menace keeping people up at night. <br><br>Jump ahead eight decades and the roles have flipped: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection. <br><br>--- <br><br>Why does it matter? <br><br>First: neon has always rattled cages. It’s always pitted artisans against technology. <br><br>In truth, it’s been art all along. <br><br>--- <br><br>The Smithers View. We see the glow that wouldn’t be ignored. <br><br>That old debate shows neon has always mattered. And it still does. <br><br>--- <br><br>Ignore the buzzwords of "LED neon". Glass and gas are the original and the best. <br><br>If [https://harry.main.jp/mediawiki/index.php/Exterior_Neon_Signs creative neon signs London ideas] could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now. <br><br>Choose glow. <br><br>You need it. <br><br>---
