Were neon installations scrambling the airwaves? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The figure was no joke: the Department had received nearly one thousand reports from frustrated licence-payers. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Imagine it: listeners straining to catch news bulletins, drowned out by the hum of glowing adverts on the high street. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Minister in charge didn’t deny it. The difficulty?: there was no law compelling interference suppression. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He promised consultations were underway, but stressed that the problem was &quot;complex&quot;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Which meant: more static for listeners. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gallacher shot back. He said listeners were getting a raw deal. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the backbenches came another jab. What about the Central Electricity Board and their high-tension cables? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Minister squirmed, saying yes, cables were part of the mess, which only complicated things further. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--- &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Looking back now, this debate is almost poetic. Back then, neon was the tech menace keeping people up at night. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jump ahead eight decades and the roles have flipped: neon is the endangered craft fighting for survival, while plastic LED fakes flood the market. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--- &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So what’s the takeaway? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[https://wikicap.ulb.be/index.php?title=The_Cultural_Case_For_Neon order neon signs London] has never been neutral. It’s always pitted artisans against technology. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now it’s dismissed as retro fluff. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--- &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Our take at Smithers. We see proof that neon was powerful enough to shake Britain. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, yes, old is gold. And it still does. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--- &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ignore the buzzwords of &quot;LED neon&quot;. Authentic glow has history on its side. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If neon could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Choose glow. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Smithers has it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;---</div>
