When Neon Crashed the Airwaves
Looking back, it feels surreal: in June 1939, just months before Britain plunged into war, MPs in Westminster were arguing about neon signs.
Mr. Gallacher, an MP with a sharp tongue, rose to challenge the government. Was Britain’s brand-new glow tech ruining the nation’s favourite pastime – radio?
The figure was no joke: roughly one thousand cases logged in a single year.
Imagine 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.
Postmaster-General Major Tryon admitted the scale of the headache. The snag was this: the government had no legal power to force neon owners to fix it.
He said legislation was being explored, but warned the issue touched too many interests.
Translation? Parliament was stalling.
Gallacher shot back. He said listeners were getting a raw deal.
Another MP raised the stakes. What about the Central Electricity Board and their high-tension cables?
The Postmaster-General ducked the blow, admitting it made the matter "difficult" but offering no real solution.

Looking back now, this debate is almost poetic. Back then, neon was the tech menace keeping people up at night.
Fast forward to today and it’s the opposite story: the menace of 1939 is now the endangered beauty of 2025.

What does it tell us?
Neon has always been political, cultural, disruptive. It’s always pitted artisans against technology.
In 1939 it was seen as dangerous noise.
---
Our take at Smithers. We see proof that neon was powerful enough to shake Britain.
Call it quaint, call it heritage, but it’s a reminder. And it always will.
---
Don’t settle for plastic impostors. Real neon has been debated in Parliament for nearly a century.
If neon Sign shop london could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now.
Choose the real thing.
We make it.
