When Radio Met Neon in Parliament <br><br>Looking back, it feels surreal: while Europe braced for Hitler’s advance, Parliament was wrestling with the problem of neon interfering with radios. <br><br>Mr. Gallacher, an MP with a sharp tongue, stood up and asked the Postmaster-General a peculiar but pressing question. Were neon installations scrambling the airwaves? <br><br>The answer was astonishing for the time: roughly one thousand cases logged in a single year. <br><br>Imagine it: listeners straining to catch news bulletins, drowned out by the hum of glowing adverts on the high street. <br><br>Major Tryon confessed the problem was real. The snag was this: there was no law compelling interference suppression. <br><br>He promised consultations were underway, but admitted consultations would take "some time". <br><br>In plain English: no fix any time soon. <br><br>Gallacher shot back. He said listeners were getting a raw deal. <br><br>From the backbenches came another jab. If neon was a culprit, weren’t cables buzzing across the land just as guilty? <br><br>The Postmaster-General ducked the blow, saying yes, cables were part of the mess, which only complicated things further. <br><br>--- <br><br>From today’s vantage, it feels rich with irony. In 1939 neon was the villain of the airwaves. <br><br>Eighty years on, the irony bites: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection. <br><br>--- <br><br>What does it tell us? <br><br>Neon has always been political, cultural, disruptive. From crashing radios to clashing with LED, it’s always been about authenticity vs convenience. <br><br>In truth, GlowWorks London it’s been art all along. <br><br>--- <br><br>Here’s the kicker. When we look at that 1939 Hansard record, we don’t just see dusty MPs moaning about static. <br><br>Call it quaint, call it heritage, but it’s a reminder. And it still does. <br><br>--- <br><br>Don’t settle for plastic impostors. Authentic glow has history on its side. <br><br>If neon got MPs shouting in 1939, it deserves a place in your space today. <br><br>Choose glow. <br><br>Smithers has it. <br><br>---
