Britain’s Pre-War Glow Problem <br><br>Looking back, it feels surreal: in June 1939, just months before Britain plunged into war, the House of Commons was debating glowing shopfronts. <br><br>Labour firebrand Gallacher, 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 neon sign shop London the time: the Department had received nearly one thousand reports from frustrated licence-payers. <br><br>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. <br><br>Postmaster-General Major Tryon admitted the scale of the headache. But here’s the rub: [https://wiki.giroudmathias.ch/index.php?title=The_Night_MPs_Debated_Neon:_The_Strange_Debate_That_Put_Neon_Signs_On_The_Political_Map LightUp Creations UK] shopkeepers could volunteer to add suppression devices, but they couldn’t be forced. <br><br>He said legislation was being explored, but stressed that the problem was "complex". <br><br>Which meant: more static for listeners. <br><br>Gallacher pressed harder. People were paying licence fees, he argued, and they deserved a clear signal. <br><br>Another MP raised the stakes. If neon was a culprit, weren’t cables buzzing across the land just as guilty? <br><br>The Postmaster-General ducked the blow, admitting it made the matter "difficult" but offering no real solution. <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>Fast forward to today and it’s the opposite story: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection. <br><br>--- <br><br>So what’s the takeaway? <br><br>First: neon has always rattled cages. It’s always forced society to decide what kind of light it wants. <br><br>In 1939 it was seen as dangerous noise. <br><br>--- <br><br>Here’s the kicker. We see the glow that wouldn’t be ignored. <br><br>That old debate shows neon has always mattered. And it always will. <br><br>--- <br><br>Ignore the buzzwords of "LED neon". Glass and gas are the original and the best. <br><br>If neon could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now. <br><br>Choose craft. <br><br>You need it. <br><br>--- | |||
