Gallacher, never one to mince words, stood up and asked the Postmaster-General a peculiar but pressing question. Was Britain’s brand-new glow tech ruining the nation’s favourite pastime – radio? The figure was no joke: &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;the Department had received nearly &lt;/del&gt;one thousand &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;reports from frustrated licence-payers&lt;/del&gt;.

The difficulty?: &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;there was &lt;/del&gt;no &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;law compelling interference suppression&lt;/del&gt;. He &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;spoke of a possible new Wireless Telegraphy Bill&lt;/del&gt;, but &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;warned &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;issue touched too many interests&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;In plain English&lt;/del&gt;: &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;no fix any time soon&lt;/del&gt;.

What about &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Central Electricity Board and their high-tension cables&lt;/del&gt;?&lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/del&gt;The Minister squirmed, &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;basically &lt;/del&gt;admitting the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;whole electrical age was interfering with itself&lt;/del&gt;. --- &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Seen through modern eyes&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;it’s heritage comedy with a lesson&lt;/del&gt;. Back then, neon was the tech menace keeping people up at night. Jump ahead eight decades and the roles have flipped: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection. --- &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Why does it matter&lt;/del&gt;? &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;First: neon &lt;/del&gt;has &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;always rattled cages&lt;/del&gt;. It’s always pitted artisans against technology.&lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Second: every era misjudges neon&lt;/del&gt;. --- &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Our take at Smithers&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;When we look at &lt;/del&gt;that &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;1939 Hansard record, we don’t just see dusty MPs moaning about static&lt;/del&gt;. So, yes, old is gold. And it still does. --- &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Ignore &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;buzzwords of &amp;quot;&lt;/del&gt;LED &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;neon&amp;quot;&lt;/del&gt;. Glass and gas are the original and the best. If neon could jam the nation’s radios in 1939, it can sure as hell light your lounge, office, or &lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt; neon lights store &lt;/del&gt;storefront in 2025.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nouvelle page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Britain’s Pre-War Glow Problem  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Strange but true: in June 1939, just months before Britain plunged into war, the House of Commons was debating glowing shopfronts.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Mr. Gallacher, an MP with a sharp tongue, demanded answers from the Postmaster-General. How many complaints had rolled in about wireless sets being ruined by neon signage?  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The reply turned heads: the Department had received nearly one thousand reports from frustrated licence-payers.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Imagine it: listeners straining to catch news bulletins, drowned out by the hum of glowing adverts on the high street.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Postmaster-General Major Tryon admitted the scale of the headache. The difficulty?: the government had no legal power to force neon owners to fix it.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;He said legislation was being explored,  neon sign shop London but admitted consultations would take &amp;quot;some time&amp;quot;.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;In plain English: no fix any time soon.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The MP wasn’t satisfied. He said listeners were getting a raw deal.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;From the backbenches came another jab. Wasn’t the state itself one of the worst offenders?  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The Postmaster-General ducked the blow, admitting it made the matter &amp;quot;difficult&amp;quot; but offering no real solution.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;---  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Looking back now, this debate is almost poetic.
