When Neon Crashed the Airwaves Looking back, it feels surreal: in June 1939, just months before Britain plunged into war, the House of Commons was debating glowing shopfronts. Gallacher, never one to mince words, rose to challenge the government. Were neon installations scrambling the airwaves? The figure was no joke: around a thousand complaints in 1938 alone. Think about 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.
The Minister in charge didn’t deny it. But here’s the rub: the government had no legal power to force neon owners to fix it. He spoke of a possible new Wireless Telegraphy Bill, but admitted consultations would take "some time". Which meant: more static for listeners. The MP wasn’t satisfied. People were paying licence fees, he argued, and they deserved a clear signal. Mr. Poole piled in too. Wasn’t the state itself one of the worst offenders? Tryon deflected, admitting it made the matter "difficult" but offering no real solution.
